Right, that's another way of doing things.

What I'm suggesting is that with:

	fileserver:/tbox

nfs mounted to each builder box as /tbox, then not only do you not  
need the symlinks, but *all* of the srcMount/portsTreeMount/ 
requestMount code can simply go away.

nullfs mounts of an underlying nfs-mounted filesystem (in conjuction  
with HOST_WORKDIR) work really rather well (modulo issues with NFS  
itself, which srcMount/portsTreeMount suffer from as well), and it  
removes a veritable shedload of complexity in the code.
