I think it's quite similar as I said before. Maybe I used some words
that made you confused.
I said the multiplexer (or the hypervisor, I'm not very sensitive to the
name:-) can have multiple interfaces and there was a "filter" behind
every interface. ...

Thanks anyway :-)

How do you know now what will be important later on?

Just let your system look at the combined diff of all changesets the user
added during the time he did a specific project, then you effectively have a
cleaned version.

# Please do not use the term “pathname” that is used in Unix
# documentation; use “file name” (two words) instead. We use the
# term “path” only for search paths, which are lists of directory
# names.

I wonder if that applies to names of environment variables too.
Certainly I'd expect SOCK_INET_SERV_PATH to allow a
colon-delimited list, just like PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
