I can relate to this one...
I was tasked to port this UNIX application from CORBA to Axis2C and I was
handed out a (WHAT?!) Window$ XP laptop...
I dual booted the Laptop (to have a fall back resource) and installed
Kubuntu. I slapped a virtual XP on top to do the windoze thing (Outlook ans
stuff like that). Then I created a Samba share that was pointed to an sshfs
mounted to the UNIX machine so I could browse the source directly from the
XP machine without scaring anyone.
For "work at home" days, I would fire the virtual M$, connect to the VPN and
login into the UNIX machine. Then I would set a reverse tunnel to my server
and then a reverse tunnel to the laptop.
I had scripts that detected the environment and mounted the filesystem
appropriately.
Pretty geeky... :)

PS: Gave up SHR.
Now I am OpenWRT(ing)
Hope it works...
