It was already shell script, but I can do all the layer checking and
automatically fixing up the error prediction for when pathnames have slashes
appended much more easily in something like python where I can build and
maintain a map of the state of the filesystem.

See:

I've also added tests to exercise mkdir and rmdir and have enabled the unlink
tests.  So far so good with overlayfs.
