I like this, using tar.  However, I would prefer if this actually went
with this approach all the time, so that we could just get rid of the
"mounted" check altogether.
That is, instead of "if mounted, do this, else do this" we could,
fairly easilly, just use the tarball approach to satisfy both
conditions.  Do you think you could modify the patch like that? If
not, I could do it.

Thanks alot for your work!
