Not really, no.  You could make a suid mount wrapper or something,

Erm.  It's all in the CVS repository, but we don't seem to make that

everything between the previous point release and the current
one.  Anyone in favor?

Sure!  It's also part of the bin distribution now, so everyone will
get it as a standard component.
