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?

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?
