All right, I've implemented support for webnfs mounting in the latest beta 
(b4) of am-utils 6.1. [This could also go into the FAQ, I guess.]

However, if you're not currently using an automounter, switching to amd 
could be somewhat of a tall order... It would be nice if webnfs support 
was implemented in mount(8), as it's simple enough, but I won't be the one 
to do it.
