committing a ".emptydir" file in each directory would be easier.
why bother making it .emptydir (ie, with the dot) when that makes it
invisible on broken host systems (with the ls bug) but visible under
inferno itself.
more important, and the reason i didn't do that,
if it's visible under inferno itself, it breaks the point of some of
those directories being there, and empty: you're supposed to be able
to enumerate
services by listing names subsequently bound to them.
Perhaps a rule in the mkfile which would check/create empty directories?
Certainly makes sense for <arch>/lib and whatnot, less certain it
makes perfect
sense for other common empty directories.
