Would anyone like to give a progress report?

I think the only major hurdle left to overcome is the fact that if you execute a program from the music partition, the partition is considered "busy" and can't be unmounted/remounted, thus screwing up synchs and causing the drive to need to be FSCK'd.

Mark had some ideas about fixing this in the kernel, but I'm not sure whether he's made any progress.

Once that problem is solved, everything else is trivial stuff, and really just comes down to agreeing on standards for a few things, like the file location.
