I'm not sure mount -t will ever happen.  There is this HUGE "client"
side daemon that needs to be run.  A client of the fs does fs ops in
/coda and they get passed queued for the venus daemon to read, process
and then write answers to.  (The client does a mount internally:
        mount("coda", ...)
