We were chatting on irc and trying to figure out what was going on
while cpu'ing in to another machine, when we ran across this
unexpected behavior:  The plumbopen function will try to
open /mnt/term/mnt/plumb if it cannot find /mnt/plumb.  This
was a little startling and seems a little un-plan9-like.

If the user wants to use his plumber while connecting to
a remote machine, wouldn't it be preferable to require
him to bind /mnt/term/mnt/plumb on /mnt/plumb himself in
his profile?
