which gets to a (non-existant? :) solution to one of my problems.  While
using macbsd, I found a "mount_union" operation, which allowed a second
file system to be mounted at the same point.  This would seem to be
ideal for networks:  mount the server's /usr behind the local, allowing
it to be searched if there is not a local file.  do we have an
equivalent?
