        I tried this with Angstrom builds, seems to work OK either.

        The only concern is all this override files patchery. I wish
we had for fstab the same machinery as for autoconf site files -
ability to merge standard template with per-machine overrides. But
well, lack of such shouldn't be cause of delay with this patch, hope
to see it soon in mainline!
