Looking at libshouldbeinlibc/fsysops.c:fsys_get_readonly (fsys_t fsys, int 
*readonly)

I'm thinking that this might be an opportunity to get rid of the
heuristic in that function. The comment explains the issue:

/* Ask FSYS whether it's readonly, returning the result in READONLY; we don't
   really have a good method for this, other than asking for it's options and
   looking for `--readonly' or `--writable'.  If we see neither, return
   EOPNOTSUPP.  */

Thoughts?
