This is an idea I like, and while I don't think it will become the
default way wine operates ever, I wonder if a suitable abstraction layer
might assist us.
I see it this way - wine will need a full NTFS redirector at some point,
to correctly handle remote fileystems. Why is the local disk any
different from a remote redirected filesystem? Samba could be hooked in
at this point (and my even assist in providing access to those remote
files).
I also don't know much about win32 programming, but anyway :-)
