* [ -w /cdrom ] turns out not to be a sufficient test for files under
/cdrom being writable; with busybox, it always returns true even for
read-only filesystems. Explicitly check for the read-only flag in mount
output to work around this.
* Fix where_is_mounted helper function to actually produce output (thanks,
Steve Dodd; LP: #346941).
* Add a comment to find_cow_device explaining why the choice of
filesystems is restricted (I asked for this comment in LP #230703 but it
apparently never got written).
