Back In The Day (TM) when I first wrote mount_z.c, both mount.h and fs.h 
were required to do everything jaZip needed.

At some point later on, those things that were needed in fs.h were
duplicated in mount.h.  I remember getting bug reports about the resulting
redeclaration errors and I fixed it by removing mount.h.

I guess I chose wrong, but I promise the mount(2) manpage on my distro
(most likely RedHat 4.x or 5.x back then) did not read like the above when
it first happened :-)

Thanks for the suggestions - we will fix it.
