What for?  GetDriveType is perfectly capable of telling us whether the
drive is networked or not.  Or did you mean something else?

In any case, as long as the Unix code treats networked drives mounted
via NFS or similar as local ones, I will object doing otherwise on
Windows.  A primitive (separate from file-remote-p) that
differentiates between local and network-mounted volumes would be okay
with me, but only if it is supported on Unix as well.
