That's the only solution I can think of too.  Unfortunately it means that 
the mount point isn't really where you think it is (like nfs automounts) 
so it can make other things behave differently (eg, making /usr/src an 
automounted file system would change the behaviour of make obj).

It might be possible to make it work with a loopback filesystem; but I'm 
still investigating that.
