Feature: Unmount after X minutes of inactivity

Feature:
Have an option to unmount after X minutes of inactivity, this will increase security in case the user forgets to unmount and then leaves the computer.

Hi @JoakimCh -- thanks for the feature request.

I believe this is already implemented in the encfs upstream version. Can you see if it is working for your setup with encfs4win? You can use the "--idle=MINUTES" flag to set a timeout before forcing an unmount.

Is there any way to specify options for encfs.exe (like the idle option above) in encfsw.exe?

Right now encfsw.exe has only basic functionality, so this isn't possible to do without rebuilding the executable and hard-coding an idle setting in.

I've been wanting to completely re-do encfsw to modernize it, though. I'm hoping to do this with the upcoming v1.11 release.
