thanks, i saw it.  so, i see that /:/system really means /system for
emacs.

But there still remains an emacs-bug in true-filename
If /usr is a link to /:/system
then (true-filename "/usr") should yield something like
"/:/:/system" which emacs would indeed interpret as /:/system.

hope i got that right..
