Wouldn't it be much better to just turn ShareWith into a sort of
virtual directory structure that is mounted into the user's folder.
The internal implementation would be the same as what you propose,
but to the user it would look like a special "System" folder that
seems to contain subfolders for preference panels, fonts, sounds,
components etc.
I think the Apple System 7 idea of a system folder with subfolders
still is the best approach. You'd of course have a much cooler, more
modern file manager, but the general idea of that folder would still
be there.
