zsh umount completion bug for most platforms, #533679

[Thomas Stromberg]

I reported this bug some time ago, and I was suprised to see it still  
exists in 4.0.5:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ 
index.php?func=detail&aid=533679&group_id=4068&atid=104068

It'd appear you guys aren't even using that bug tracker however, from  
how the FAQ words things. So, I'm posting it here.

It seems that the umount completion pretty much presumes every platform  
uses /etc/mtab, if they aren't FreeBSD. However,  It's mostly the other  
way around, unfortunately. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, HP-UX,  
MacOS X all do not have mtab files.

This patch against Completion/Unix/Command/_mount changes the  
assumption so that IRIX & Linux use mtab, and everyone else uses the  
output of the mount command. Please CC me any comments as I am not on  
this list.
