Hmmm.... that sort of thing, strikes me as potentially very, VERY
dangerous.

There are assorted packages/programs, that sometimes exist in both sun
space, and csw space, and both use /var, I think.
There would be some potentially nasty conflicts.

If so, i'm not sure we should be facilitating behaviour that we know is
inherently problematical?
