hi. sorry to take so long on this one. i was hoping an nfs hacker would
pick it up ;)

anyway, as i understand it, these long versions would have to be
specified in fstab(5), right? there is no way to actually pass them to
mount_nfs itself. or do i have that wrong?

anyway, i think it does make sense to document them, but i think we
could cut down on verbiage. what about if we altered the "options are as
follows" lines to say that long version names can be given to fstab, and
do it this way:

        .It 2 Pq nfsv2
        Use the NFS Version 2 protocol.
        .It 3 Pq nfsv3
        ...

what about that? any nfs people want to chime in?
