Probably we need to discuss patches first (I'm not subscribed to
netatalk-devel yet) because it makes changes only in translation component
while mangling part isn't updated yet. At best, it would probably be taken
from Samba to be fully compatible.

I'll return to the topic on netatalk-devel later this week, after updating
patches to current HEAD.
