I don't know about "equally", but I can see where it could be handy.
I hope to hack on it this weekend, and I'll include @host.

I don't have an -h.  I have old binaries, so maybe this is a new
addition.  Or did you mean -m? I think the @sys identifiers should be
more distinctive than what -m gives...  Perhaps follow AFS's lead, and
use $arch+"_"+lower($osname)+removedots($version) [eg, i386_netbsd09,
amiga_netbsd09a, sparc_netbsd10, etc].  Unfortunately that yields
somewhat unwieldly names.  Maybe just use "n" instead of "netbsd"?
Comments? 

Any comments on implementing these at the global VFS level vs individual
filesystems? I'm leaning back towards the latter now...
