I actually started trying to add this support at one point, but got
distracted by other things before I got as far as any useful code.
It didn't seem like it would be especially hard to do, though: the
code isn't too horrific, and most of the work would probably be
just to remove all the stuff that LREDIR does to make Linux
partitions look like a DOS filesystem. I would certainly be very
happy if someone could implement this!
