I think that's more like what Win 7 is doing these days with its
"libraries" paradigm.
Basically you select the different folders you want to appear as part
of your "Pictures" library of whatever, and it aggregates them all
into one common access point. So your "Pictures" folder can actually
be an aggregation of pictures from several different places and drives
etc.

etc. This seems to be more along the lines of what you guys are talking about.
