So, I take it this means that (1) CDT can only parse and index files on 
the local filesystem, but (2) the index uses URIs, so if a definition is 
located in a non-local file, Open Declaration, Search, etc. will work 
correctly with a non-local URI... is that right?

In this rsync-type model, I think we could safely assume that only 
library headers would be remote, so the lack of EFS awareness in scanner 
discovery and the debugger wouldn't be a serious problem.  (True?)

Interesting idea; I'll have to think some more about that...
