I'd be interested in doing that. And may thnaks to David Brown for 
mentining that this isnpossible. However it wouldn't be part of Baby X.

I had a quick look at the fuse webite, and I couldn't for the life of me 
work out how to write a short fuse script to mount such a simple 
directory structure as a FileSystem XML file.

I'm sure it's possible and not too hard to do. But it's the sort of 
thing people do for money.
