Use for /nand partition?

Hi, is there any obvious way to join the /nand into the /data partition? This would allow for installation of much more apps from the market without running out of space.Most apps support /sdcard for storage of extra data, so the /nand mountpoint is pretty much a waste.Christian

would softlinking the /data/data and/data/app directory to /nand/data and /nand/app work possibly?
Also where are the individual partition sizes defined?
Perhaps simply mounting the nand partition additionally on /sdcard would be better. This way, it's there, then if an sdcard is inserted it will get hidden by the real sdcard contents, but it will still be accessible via /nand if desired even with the sdcard inserted.
