It has already been explained that this belongs in mountmgr, and should
be based on the actual devices as reported by HAL. It should also create
the corresponding NT devices and symlinks.

- HAL is deprecated / in maintenance mode 
  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal

- DeviceKit is a set of projects to replace HAL
  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/DeviceKit
  The daemon is libudev and the userspace tools where renamed to udisks:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/devkit-devel/2009-December/000567.html

Today, the updates for Ubuntu 10.04 replaced devicekit-disks-doc with
udisks-doc.


- HAL Migration path:
  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy
  http://wiki.debian.org/HALRemoval

The question now lies in if the Mac porting projects will get libudev to
build and be functional on MacOSX 10.4+.  libhal was not, and probably
never will be because of the architecture.
