Just wanted to go on record backing Lionel. I am against mapping the 
root of the drive to Wine. There have been cases in the past (even 
published on Slashdot), when people using Wine were infected with 
document sending viruses. In that case, the root mapping meant things 
got out.

Mapping the root is a bad security decision, even if we don't see the 
exact attack vector at the moment.
