RFC: mount.nfs

Please find attached the code for mount.nfs, a drop-in replacement for
the nfsmount code in mount(8). If you're adventurous, simply compile,
and install in /sbin as mount.nfs.

Beware - this is alpha code I just wrote this morning; I'm running
this past this list mostly in order to get feedback.

I rewrote the code almost entirely from scratch, because I felt the
old code had gotten a little convoluted. The new code should also
be a lot smarter about which NFS and MOUNT versions to try, and which
transport protocols. It currently prefers TCP over UDP, because that's
what I like better, but if people disagree it's easy to turn this into
a compile time option.

NFS unmount is missing at the moment, mostly because mount(8) doesn't
support /sbin/umount.%s yet.

There's also no NFSv4 support yet, but if anyone would like to send
me patches I will gladly incorporate them. I'm also open to design
improvements that may make life for NFSv4 folks easier.
