I'll be working on this.  Actually I was a little confused about the
out-of-the-box availability of unionfs.  I think there may have been another
implementation of unionfs that was called relayfs, but which was a wholly
different thing than what fedora ships with as relayfs.  Though googling now, I
can't find any trace of it, though I can find a stale overlay filesystem
(ovlfs), mini_fo, and unionfs.  I'll let you folks know if/when I get anything
working...
