 Where's the patch :) ? But I think it will require both mtab and fstab (do 
all systems have both of them?). IMHO it could work this way:
- the dir is not in mtab -> ok, not mounted
- the dir is in mtab but not fstab -> not ok, manually mounted
- the dir is in mtab and fstab and it has noauto option -> not ok
- otherwise (mtab&fstab and doesn't have noauto) -> ok
(where dir of course actually means dir prefix or something like that)
