Can't you do the following (using /hurd as an example): Without
unionfs running on /hurd (which is a directory), you do `ln -s
/stow/hurd/hurd/unionfs /hurd/', so /hurd/unionfs is available
without unionfs running on /hurd. Once unionfs is running on
/hurd, its old (i.e. the content of the directory `/hurd/') isn't
visible anymore.
Yes, but this will break horribly if the user for whatever reason
considers /stow/hurd a ugly name and changes it to something like
/stow/hurd-foo-bar.

You'd also have to frob unionfs's executable then, since it most
probably depends on libc.so.0.3, etc., but doesn't have a RPATH for
/init/lib/.
Compile unionfs as a static executable.
