Thanks for the patch!  I think I'd rather just document the existence of
such a file in the man page but not try to generate one by default;
instead, those people who have extra file systems they want inndf to check
can just create inndf.conf (yeah, I'm not that fond of the name either, in
part because it ends in .conf and isn't really a configuration file, just
a list of file systems... hm) and have inndf automatically pick them up.

Anyone have any good ideas for such a file?
