:mount(8) currently allows e.g. "mount -u -o rough /tmp" to remount /tmp
:read-only. This seems to be because of a typo in getmntopts.c which could 
:be fixed as follows:

    Hmm.  Well, that is certainly a bug, but the fix is a little different
    then what you have because the opt[] is already truncated at the first
    '=' just above that section.

    I think what we want is a standard unbounded case insensitive string
    compare, see below.  If nobody sees anything wrong with this change
    I will commit it on monday.
