Erm... Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't an NFS client have to 
manipulate mount points as well?

I can see that working for Cygwin binaries (since everything related to 
the filesystem namespace goes through Cygwin), but it wouldn't work for 
Win32 binaries, since it's not a full network redirector (in the Win32 
subsystem parlance, IIRC).

Still, It's interesting to ponder. I understand the Sun RPC stuff works 
now, right?

R.
