And a needless one too.  netatalk is *already* designed to live
in the kernel.  The guys at UMich have had everything they need
to port to 2.x for several months now, but haven't considered
NeXTs a priority since they're just not sensing a lot of demand.
That ol' "squeaky wheel" phenomenon.  :-)

(They're also so far behind on getting another release out the
door, that adding support for *any* additional systems isn't
going to happen for a while.)
