That handles the automatic mount, but what about the automatic umount when
the media is replaced?  I thought amd only unmounted after a certain amount
of idle time...  If you had to go through a bunch of CD's, would amd be 
smart enough to know when you replaced the media?  I don't have a CDROM 
currently installed to try this, but I'm curious to know if amd handles 
media changes.

I think Fusie might be looking for something like Solaris's vold(1M) volume
management daemon.
