OK, I give up. Go ahead and make a UNC hack that simply

What I want to avoid, and your patch is a good example of that, is the
multiplication of ad-hoc hacks that solve a very specific problem
without addressing the more global issue. Both your patch and Stefan's
UNC patch contain pieces that will be part
As such, we've put together a scheme for parsing /etc/fstab on startup
(not mtab: the drive may not be mounted), and automatically adding
drive letters for each iso9660 filesystem listed. The patch (to the
WineX tree) is here:

I agree that faking network mounts is a good thing, but
parsing mtab makes for much easier configuration. Instead of
forcing the user to add a server field, wine can figure it out

the equivalent operation for names (making the relationship between a DOS driver

Ok, I thing i got it now. You are asking for a configuration option in
e.g. ~/.wine/config to enable or disable UNC support like this:
yup...
