I have used that filesystem driver before. It is for making an "inode-formatted" (ext2/3) filesystem look like a windows filesystem (but not necessarily vfat).

It works at a higher level and is not quite the same thing, but it DOES assume that the kindle USB drive would be reformatted to contain inodes (such as ext2 or ext3).

However, knc1 said that this is not what he is suggesting, so we will have to wait for his documentation to see how to put symlinks on a vfat drive without reformatting it. Perhaps it can be done using some kind of overlay filesystem like Nyoxi has posted (to contain the symlinks), or perhaps it can simulate symlinks using shortcuts (like cygwin), or by some other method.

But it looks like my curiosity may not be satisfied until knc1 has more time to document this.
