Comment (by Pierre Labastie):

 There have been several messages on alfs-discuss to tell that having lfs
 in a regular directory is actually a use case. This discussion originated
 in ticket #1739, where I also expressed the same view. I moved the
 conversation here because ticket #1739 has a different subject.

 As has also been answered in that ticket and in mails, it is possible to
 mount a directory onto itself, so that having lfs in a regular directory
 would be possible even if a mount point is enforced.

 But now the question is what should we do if $(MOUNT_PT) is not a mount
 point: just warn and ask the user whether .s.he wants to continue, or stop
 and tell user to rerun after mounting $(MOUNT_PT)? And at which stage
 should this be done? in the initial run of jhalfs (before configuration or
 just after), or when running the Makefile in $(MOUNT_PT)/jhalfs, or...
