xffm: Feature Request: xffm /mnt/cdrom --> giving a "mount" entry :)

Hi edscott :)

Thanks for your hard work on xffm :) 

Ok so my request:
I normally use launchers for my removable media drives like so:
Launcher 1:
   "CD-ROM"
   --> xffm /mnt/cdrom

Launcher 2:
   "DVD-CDROM"
   --> xffm /mnt/dvd

and so on.

However, if I do it like this and the media is not mounted, I get the
empty folder and thats it (well, I got permission denied before because
the unmounted folder had dr-x------ but thats another story ^^ )

So I'd really like to see 1) an toolbar entry for [un]mounting when the
selected directory is a mountpoint or just 2) automatically execute
mount on opening xffm with a mountpoint as argument :)

Right now, I use a small wrapper script which does:
  mxffm:
     mount "$1"
     xffm "$1"

That works too :) though it would be more convenient mounting over xffm
itself (I know the "fstab" stuff in xffm, but at the folder itself would
be even better ;))

cheers, 
   Danny
