	Is the union filesystem stable enough for this?  I've been
interested in doing something along these lines but I haven't because
there are big warnings all over about using union_fs... but I know some
work has been done on it since FreeBSD 3.x.  Has anyone done this?

	Also, does anyone understand the difference between mount -o union
and mount_union?
