I'm not so sure. If we depend on users having configured drives for
the smbfs mounts, we might just as well ask them to configure UNC
paths too, and avoid parsing /etc/mtab. For instance we could simply
have something like:

[Drive F]
"Path" = "/mnt/whatever"
"Server" = "foo"

and then \foo\x would mean the same thing as f:\x.  This way you can
also fake network mounts using the local filesystem.
