According to AJ, using symlink to check if a volume exists, is not a 
good idea as it's not reliable.
So we have to get the info from the mountmgr.
As its name implies, its job is to manage devices, so it's fairly 
logical to ask it.

I don't think a design document exists but if I missed it.
And clearly, making documentation is not funniest part of a project.
But if you want to know what are the plans, ask AJ, he's the only one 
that can decide what to do.

If you look at mountmgr.c in dlls/mountmgr.sys/, there are calls to 
IoCreateSymbolicLink and IoDeleteSymbolicLink so symbolic links are used 
internally. If you remove dosdevices (can be a good idea considering 
some filesystems don't support symbolic links), you have to store the 
info elsewhere, in the registry ? in a file ?

AJ ? Any thoughts ?
