Hmm, doesn't really handle MIME, base64 does it?
I'll try again with a non signed version..
As to why I wanted the option, fstab doesn't allow quoting of the mount
point, which means a samba username with spaces in it cannot be
specified there. I was hoping that by using an option to mount_smbfs,
the username could be specified instead in the mountopts section of the
fstab entry (also impossible).
It is largely irrelevant, since neither work, so I worked around the
issue with a custom rc script. This change is merely to document
undocumented features.

BTW, the interface to the PR system is truly awful - why the hell can a
PR only be updated by email? It is truly pap.
