Has anyone who is running X11 on suns attempted to use the translucent
file system to provide architecture-specific build trees for X11 (as
opposed to making a symbolic-link tree)? I haven't put 4.1.1 up yet, but
it seems like that would be an excellent use for TFS. Does anyone have
any experience with it? (And has anyone thought of a way to use TFS to
get around the alternate installation directory problems?)
