Uh, I don't like this. It will turn a previously secure Windows system
into something an unprivileged user can easily get administrator rights
on... once you install Linux and HAL with this patch... can we revert
this please?

Thinking about the general problem perhaps we should allow this only for
external (e.g. hotpluggable, maybe only USB and Firewire) drives. Could
do the same with hfsplus too? Also once we get the privilege library
going we should probably make this a specific thing that can be turned
on and off...
