There is a big can of worms here that needs a lot of work to do properly,
so I'm currently ignoring it and trying to concentrate on emulation

Yes, via symbolic linking. Though I believe something is similarly
possible under Windows too.

This page has a few suggestions under the Sharing HostFS with Virtual Risc
