Add "-media" autofs map, to access data on removable media, such as CD
drives or flash keys. It can be enabled by uncommenting a single entry in default /etc/auto_master. It can also be easily modified to use fuse-based filesystems instead of in-kernel ones. There is still one deficiency - the mountpoints are permanent, they don't disappear when user removes the media. Fixing it needs some autofs changes.
