[9fans] new libraries in 0327 distribution

[okamoto]

Thank you very much Dave and Charles.

One more question on the new patches.

There is some difference of the updated files between /sys/src/fs/emelie and
/sys/src/fs/plan9pc.  Is there any serious meaning of this?   Or just it means
only emelie is supported seriously now?

Thank you very much Jim, and sorry of my lack of homeworks.

Other than the block-size define and the one system-specific configuration
file, all the pc fileserver kernels are identical; there isn't any real need
to have so many copies of the source.

The fileserver code which I am currently maintaining is structured
differently, in each 'system' directory the only source is a system-specific
configuration file (e.g. 9pcfs.c) and 4 header files (dat.h, fns.h, io.h
and mem.h); the mkfile knows to pull in the system-independent source
from the directories ../dev, ../ip, ../pc and ../port.

There are some new header files in /sys/include, such as bin.h, control.h
ctype.h, flate.h, httpd.h, scribble.h, and corresponding libraries.

Could you please give us a brief explanation why those are added?
