problem with mount_ntfs-3g

[Yoshihiro Ota]

This a bit off the topic; however, I pointed out the problem of this mount_XXX
behaviour quite long time ago.  It currently maintains a list of NON-supported
FS by nmount(2).  Instead, it's better to maintain a list of SUPPORTED FS by nmount.

In the current scheme, mount has to be aware of all the FSs that nmount(2) cannot
support.  In other words, if one attempts to add a new FS, he/she has to modify
mount(8) program.  That doesn't sound right, does it?

I attached the patch, again, if anyone is interested in commiting this fix.

Thanks,
Hiro
