paths like //usr/local

the sollution that paths like //comp/share are interpreted like an 
UNC-path is just not compatible with an application might expect from a 
unix-environment.
the 2 slashes should be collapsed and nothing else.

which unc-prefix would that be?

i would prefer an "automount-like" feature as i already suggested:
/unc-mount-point-path/computer/share
where
/unc-mount-point-path/computer/
might be a virtual folder with all shares avaiable and
/unc-mount-point-path/
might be a virtual folder with all known computers

just an idea.
