Original method makes you configure each volume's mount point manually in fstab while the new hack will replace mount.ntfs command so all NTFS volumes you plug will be mounted r/w.
I've been researching a bit and it seems the automounting in OS X is being handled by diskarbitrationd, which is the daemon that actually launches the mount.ntfs, mount.hfs whatever commands, however I could not find any info on changing its default mount configuration. Its config file its in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons but its empty in SL and nothing useful in Leopard, I didnt find any documentation to change its options.
Also I found an autofs.conf file in /private/etc/ that seems to control automountd options, there you can see some mount options defaults with some explanation, but they seem to apply to network mount options and not local volumes, besides Apple's docs say volume mount is done in OS X by DiskArbitrationD, not automountd, so I'm not sure if its useful to change anything there.
Just some info in case someone wants to keep on hacking on a even better NTFS mounting solution...
