I made something with the idea, available here:
http://ivoras.sharanet.org/stuff/adfs.tgz

It was hacked up over the weekend and probably contains many bugs, and 
the whole idea has scalability problems because of the need to have all 
those files open. I think it's OK for what I want to do, YMMV. If 
there's interest I'll keep updating it.
