[Zope] Acquisition symlinks?

Hi Adam, 

done with www-patentpolicy-comment@w3.org already ;-)?`

Do you know about
Dieter Maurer MirroringFolder product?
http://www.handshake.de/~dieter/pyprojects/zope/MFolder.html

and TransparentFolders
http://www.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/TransparentFolders

though I remember to have read that TransparentFolders break
something (CoreSessionTracking?), better check the lists.

cheers,
