[dundee] user mount locations

[James Le Cuirot]

I've not being following this but I think I know what you need. You
want to be able to mount a loopback device without being root, right?
The only way to do this, to my knowledge, is add an entry for it to
fstab with the user option OR use mountlo, which is part of the FUSE
project.
