	One of the big stumbling blocks is that the vendors
	(including Sun) don't document how to write add-on
	filesystems.  In part this is because the interfaces
	are subject to change.

	Sun's release of Solaris source (currently ovedue) 
	should make tracking its changes easier, as well as
	discouraging unnecessary changes...
