 Hmm, doesn't really handle MIME, base64 does it? 
 
 I'll try again with a non signed version..
 
 As to why I wanted the option, fstab doesn't allow quoting of the mount
 point, which means a samba username with spaces in it cannot be
 specified there. I was hoping that by using an option to mount_smbfs,
 the username could be specified instead in the mountopts section of the
 fstab entry (also impossible). 
 
 It is largely irrelevant, since neither work, so I worked around the
 issue with a custom rc script. This change is merely to document
 undocumented features.

 BTW, the interface to the PR system is truly awful - why the hell can a
 PR only be updated by email? It is truly pap.
