Was looking at that the other day, but haven't tried it just yet...

That could fix the problem when a partition is specifically mounted
read-only (as in when running from a live image) but doesn't address the
weird default behaviour where a mount point is only readable by root by
default...

it's certainly something worth looking at more closely though.
