That's a great solution! The only negative I can see is for a non-admin
who doesn't have permission to do the temporary bind mount.
For those that need a non-privileged method, check out the mnt-excl perl
script in the support directory -- it provides a method of generating
excludes from /proc/mounts. Its comments also mention an even simpler,
filter-option-based solution that will work for some setups (since filters
support absolute paths).
