+C<guestfs_mkmountpoint> and C<guestfs_rmmountpoint> are

+These calls are I<only> necessary in some very limited circumstances,
+mainly the case where you want to mount a mix of unrelated and/or
+read-only filesystems together.
+
+For example, live CDs often contain a \"Russian doll\" nest of
+filesystems, an ISO outer layer, with a squashfs image inside, with
+an ext2/3 image inside that.  You can unpack this as follows
+in guestfish:

+ mkmountpoint /squash
+ mkmountpoint /ext3
+ mount /dev/sda /cd
