configure moko's usb to act as a MTP responder device is better than usb mass 
storage class because the file system is _NOT_ "owned" by the host and thus the 
device itself can for example add, remove, play or rename files during this 
time without risking corruption of the file system

also, it's possible to keep any filesystem eg ext2 or reiser or *** and still 
being readable from anyone compatible with MTP

with mass storage class you should have a dedicated fat partition if you like 
to be readable all around and while connected with usb you cannot even only 
read your files in openmoko!

also, I'd like to encrypt the fsystem on my sd card, so if you remove it from 
my moko you have to enter the key.
if you encrypt it and use mass storage class, you have to install a compatible 
decipher on every host you want to connect your moko to.
(and maybe you just want to give a file to a friend, once)

I'd like to develop a simple tool for shr to configure and manage this task 
because imho it could be of some use for many people in my situation, but I'm 
not able to find any doc about configuring linux in general as a mtp responder
