But does the patch work for e.g. M-. on previously compiled code?
There are quite a few places we use filenames (currently and
potentially) and it would be a pity to have to guard them all with
filename translations unless we really have to.

Can you tell me again why it doesn't work to use the same
mount-points? I think that's the normal practice, otherwise there are
just so many things that can break (e.g. symlinks).
