I think it will be very bad if Emacs 22.1 will not support

What do you need to understand to fix this? It should be fairly easy
to get this right, as Emacs should already have the necessary
infrastructure in place (we deal with such problems in quite a few
places already, I think).
The appended patch shows how autocompletion could work for remote file
names. It removes the drive letter from file names to be completed,
because this prevents activation of Tramp file name handlers for
file-name-all-completions in read-file-name-internal.
