I wrote a program to do this, but noone showed very much interest on -hackers. The pros are that it makes it very convenient to do all sorts of things with md without having to write different scripts to do it. The cons are that it "calls itself a mount_* but isn't a mount_* since it just runs a bunch of programs", and that it breaks `mount -p` because the filesystem shows up as "ufs" (which is technically correct). I'll post a URL to the code (it's a C program) if someone wants to look at it.
