what I'm talking about binding is the operation of making the relationship between a UNC name and a (samba-) mounted SMB share.

the equivalent operation for names (making the relationship between a DOS driver letter and a Unix directory) is driven by the Wine configuration.

Even, if both schemes are a bit different, I thought we need the same configuration capabilities in Wine. These are several things we could do (first one is a must have IMO, the others are open to discussion)
- enable / disable the UNC to mount point parsing
- enable / disable the UNX to mount point parsing on a per host basis
- fully configure the UNC to mount point (like we do for DOS drive letters)
- ...

Ok, I thing i got it now. You are asking for a configuration option in
e.g. ~/.wine/config to enable or disable UNC support like this:

[UNC]
;; default for all not listed hosts
"*" = "N"
;; 
;; overwrite default settings for a special host
"MyHostYX" = "Y"


Am I right ?
