[Swift-devel] modftdock - all 3 stages

[Emalayan Vairavanathan]

Thank you Justin, but this approach wont work for now since current MosaStore does not support symbolic links. May be I can try this in future.

Another way to do this without modifying the Swift script would be to use CDM DIRECT to rename the directory in which the file is found.  However, this relies on the ability of _swiftwrap to soft link to files in the Mosa file system.
