Hmm, I see. Stephan definitely mixed up mnttab and fstab I'm afraid :-}
Using setmntent and falling back to fopen looks ok, but having a case
in between that uses setfsent looks wrong, if setfsent indeed opens fstab.
(Note that is takes no arguments.....)

getmntinfo looks like yet another kind of api. I wonder if it would
fit in the above set of defines. I guess so, but it would be easier
if you could have a go at it than if we, non-freebsd users, try :-}
