  mntgen seems new to me (I could bet it wasn't part of the 
  Plan 9 release 3, but may be I've just overlooked it)

  Anyway, is this how one accomplishes what I was trying 
  to do (bind /existing-file /non-existing-file):

   
     $ mntgen /
     $ bind /existing-file /non-existing-file

  The one thing that troubles me about this approach is that
  all of a sudden any lookup in / starts succeeding.

Thanks,
Roman.
