mount.h used to know too much about all sorts of filesystems, but this
was fixed in 4.4BSD.  It is impossible for mount.h or mount(8) to know
about all file systems, since filesystems can be dynamically loaded,
and ugly for it to know about more than 1 (or 0 -- ffs is too special).

Only mount_foofs can reasonably know about the options for foofs.
perhaps mount(8) could fork-exec mount_foofs(8) to print options for
foofs.
