External storage unmount utility

I've made a little application to cleanly unmount the external storage on your GCW Zero before ejecting it, in case you are hot-swapping cards and not shutting down your unit between insertions/removals.
Linux can keep a list of writes to be performed on external storage and issue them all at once later, but removing a card before unmounting it can cause data loss because it cannot write what it must. Using this unmounter solves the problem and allows you to eject your card safely.
