You have to draw the line as to how far you're going to 'dummy proof' your 
software.  Not everyone uses virtual maps in this manner.  I don't.

I won't let any automatic process touch my master virtual file.  The 
current setup (as of 2.1a3) works just fine; it takes control of one 
specific file which I bless.  I then make postfix include it in alias 
processing.  It's simple and works.  Move it to ./contrib if needed, but 
please don't toss it.
