It works, I'm not sure how useful it is. (Then again, if somebody _has_ a
user for it...)
In the case of mount -q, assuming the message to be suppressed are going to
stderr rather than stdout, close(2) followed by open("/dev/null") should do
the trick. (If messages go to stdout and stderr, then close(1), close(2),
open(), and dup() ought to do it. Ala Eric's patch.
Easier than putting tests around every message, and probably smaller too.
