Proposed patch (against current git)

gnome-mount had a feature to specify mount options per file system types (via GConf key "/system/storage/default_options/<fs type>/mount_options") that could be used to restrict read-only mount of removable devices from the desktop.

I could not find something similar with udisks (maybe it's there but I could not find it) so I wrote the attached patch to add this feature.

Basically, udev sets a property UDISKS_MOUNT_OPTIONS (coma separated list of options to pass to mount) that is read by udisk-daemon and appended to the options used to mount the device.

The idea is to allow sysadmins to force some mount options on some devices, for example "ro,noxec" on USB sticks.
