Excellent! I would like to see it!

A general remark: I think we already learnt from the discussion so
far that we should start with just a few conventions on the
file system layout, i.e. some kind of minimum subset. For one thing,
we probably don't need much more, and it's also easier to get a
general agreement for. Maybe we should also try to turn the discussion
upside down: What kind of file system structure are expected by
programs and packages that have already been ported or are currently
being ported? Maybe we should take care of their requirements first.

But anyway, let's see what we can learn from Linux!
