Default Auto mount of removables

Is there any new method around for automounting
removables? I have beeen using supermount since
Slackware 8.2 (before that in Mandrake), it works
just nice, but it has some issues..

Mountpoints are static and does not get created
on the basis of the hw or volume in question.

One has to hunt around for new, hopefully working
kenel patches for every new kernel version, and of
course patch and compile the kernel..

On the plus side is that supermount works smoothly, plug
in a mem-stick, a CD or whatever, and it is there in the
mountpoint, eject and put in a new CD.. it is there.
Easy config once in place, one simple line in the
ordinary fstab, nothing else.

I am not asking for that dbus/hal/udev/hotplug mess.
I am asking around if anybody have seen/read/heard of
any new method of solving automount/umount and creating
mountpoints on the basis of the HW or volume in question,
a solution that is fairly simple and does not depend on
thousand of other things.
