I clearly misspoke here. Chris Faylor is not working on such a feature.
My apologies for any confusion that this may have caused.

However, the fact remains that once the Unix like file system layout is
installed, it's a simple matter of mounting the <installdir> to '/' and
then it looks just like any other Unix box.

I'm looking forward to it, whenever it may happen.

Regards,
Mumit
