Ops, that's a good point. Perhaps we should be showing entries in 
/bin (and other directories handled by stowfs) like symlinks to the
files in the /packages/*/bin tree? That will look externally really
similar to the stow program behaviour.

I have no strong opinion about this feature (perhaps we could add it
as an option).

Thanks,
