It looks like a way to send users who need (Semi-transparent) UNC support. I was thinking of linking the .wine/dosdevices/unc to the above mount point.
In general, I like the idea of use FUSE from within other projects. e.g. somebody's doing it with KDE; see http://kde.ground.cz/tiki-index.php?page=KIO+Fuse+Gateway
But FUSE is not yet part of the standard kernel.org kernels; see http://kerneltrap.org/node/5329 for recent comments on this.
It's kind of a shame that there isn't a way to use FUSE without a kernel portion. One ought to be able to run it as a daemon or something, at least. And that would let you use it with Solaris or BSD, not just Linux.
Anyway, since FUSE is not widely used or very portable, Wine should be very careful about relying on it. There be dragons here. - Dan
