This ofcourse has to be, ln -s /coda-realms/local.realm /coda

Now the interesting question is, should everyone go this way so that we
can keep our 'global naming scheme' the same. There are probably not too
many realms users yet, and for some reason I consider it important that
everyone uses the same namespace.

I already migrated everything to the /coda/coda.cs.cmu.edu/ scheme, and
it will mean that I have to change a lot of pathnames all over again, sigh.

At some point the symlink can become obsolete and only the new /realms
mountpoint remains. On the other hand, I would be a bit sad the day we
actually lose '/coda'.
