Thank you -- the magic has been discovered!  ;-)  I had never heard of
mdmfs(8) until now (mdconfig(8) sure, mdmfs(8) nope).

Looking at the source, this thing is just a "fancy wrapper" written in
C, using mdconfig(8) and newfs(8), as well as geom_uzip(4) (which I also
didn't know about until now) in some manner (not sure how that fits
into the puzzle).  I guess it's mainly a program for convenience.
