[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#447565: Please include showexec in list of allowed options

[Sam Morris]

mount(8) merely says,

        "Various misguided attempts to force Unix or DOS conventions
        onto a FAT file system."

'showexec' is not listed in the kernel documentation either. However,
'include/linux/msdos_fs.h' reveals its purpose:

        struct fat_mount_options {
        	...
        	showexec:1,      /* set = only set x bit for com/exe/bat */
        	...
        };

So I guess this is safe.
