No, I mean why do you need to link or copy files while you are using
vmount.  The whole point of vmount is that it can find the source
files in their original locations, just so you *don't* have to copy
nor link them.

Just use vmount without any flags.  It works fine, as long as you
apply the patch I posted for compiling C (Svn has been updated with
it, plus mor of similar fixes, thank you!).  I haven't tried any
O'Caml stuff, but I don't why it should work equally well there.
