Proxy filesystems

How difficult would it be to create a proxy filesystem — that is, a
filesystem that is a view of the filesystem?

For instance, opening `/dev/urlfs/home/test/A%20Bcd` would open
`/home/test/A Bcd`.  The purpose would be to handle poorly written tools
(like Autoconf and CMake) that do not handle wierd characters in filenames.
