yes, makes sense. though with some of the latest changes it should be possible to make xget support sysfs, devfs etc -- though i don't see a reason why anybody would want to do that. I see your point.
refusing to cross mount-points seems to be a good option, but i think there's no good portable way to do it. afaik, we would have to rely on these linux-specific bits... i am looking.
