 I've packaged it and it's ready to upload. After reconsider everything,
I say just drop it. Two shell scripts for a package simply doesn't worth
it IMHO. Especially that both are zsh specific (the user have to install
zsh to run them) and it needs root rights. This can break anytime a
called binary changes it's command line flags or differ in its output.

 God forbid, but even if I upload it, I think two shell scripts don't
worth more than one maintainer. I say cryptmount should be used instead.
They differ in several ways, but it is a much better solution in
general.

Sorry for the noise,
Laszlo/GCS
