Hmm. I'll look into where convert-file-name is used. I still find
intriguing the idea of making emacs foreign-fs-proof even if running
under GNU/Linux. Maybe I'll also copy the scheme Emacs for Win32 uses. 

(What's the CVS version of Emacs? Is it the latest cutting-edge
developer version, so one can expect its features to turn up in one of
the future official versions? Or is it more of a specialised version?)

Rats, another one I simply overlooked, since of course I did look
at the manpage ...

Thanks a lot, Eli. That facilitates matters considerably.
