`gcc-4.3`, I got strange behaviour of pfinet and spend a week trying
to figure out the reason.

### TODO
(Dates in brackets show the *expected* completion date)
-* **Try to start the mountee during initialization of `unionfs`** *(4
- Jul)* Presently the mountee is started at the first lookup, although
- it is desirable to have it started during the initialization of
- `unionmount`.
-
-* **Fix the patches in ``--mount'' option series** *(4 Jul)* The
- patches have been reviewed by **antrik** so they have to be
- corrected.
+* **Orphan the mountee after starting it** *(7 Jul)* Orphaning the
+ mountee after starting it up seems to be a nice work-around for the
+ necessity of keeping a proxy node in unionmount in simple use-cases.
* **Read the relevant code of `devnode`, `eth-multiplexer`, and
- `pfinet`.** *(6 Jul)* At the moment a part of `devnode`
+ `pfinet`.** *(10 Jul)* At the moment a part of `devnode`
functionality appears in `eth-multiplexer` and (probably) because of
this, `devnode` cannot use `eth-multiplexer`'s pseudo master device
port. I'll have to figure out why it happens like that.
