RFC: more Windows-NT like user directories?

Hmm. We could have a magic marker file ~/.wine/dosdevices/.auto.d: for 
instance, but that'd be a bit ugly.

In future it'd be nice to notice when the fstab has changed and rerun 
the auto-detect procedure automatically, so the user can plug in a USB 
key, have HAL set things up automatically, then run their Wine program 
and have it appear in the file dialogs.

To do that, we'd need to be able to non-destructively update the drive 
links.

OK, that's great, exactly what I wanted to hear :)
