Actually Pierre Humblet has also contributed much to the documentation.
In fact, he's taken the documentation through a rewrite, recently.
DJ does have the ultimate responsibility for documentation, though,
just like Geoff did before.

As I stated recently on the list (not that anyone can read this since the
search engine is broken), we're having problems with the archives due
to the recent mailing list software changeover. Hopefully this will be
fixed soon but we have to rely on the Cygnus system administrators for this
and they're quite busy.

And, this is why mount warns you when you attempt to do a
'mount d:/temp /tmp' if /tmp doesn't exist.
