Hi!  I was working on getting NetBeans set up last night, when I ran across
some strange behavior.  When attempting to register a file with the file
browser, I was getting very strange results.  To make a long story short,
what was happening was, I was browsing in the Linux compatability tree,
which is set up with its own root hierarchy (i.e., I thought I was browsing
/usr/local, when I was really browsing /emul/linux/usr/local).

My question is, how does everyone else handle this?  Should I just use
symbolic links to re-direct empty directories to their "real" counterparts?
Or should I just copy the parts of the hierarchy I need into the emulated
filesystem?  I can see pros and cons for each approach, is one way better
than another, or is there another possibility I didn't think of?

Thanks for any clues!
