Okay, as long as I can link that lib into all the other apps
I'm going to "port" to 9p, I'm fine with that.

Ah, ok, there it is :)
But it doesn't seem to work properly w/ the u9fs + npfs servers.
"wmirr ls -ld /etc" works as it should (like /bin/ls does), but
other commands (ie read or ls w/o -d) do not output anything.

I compared the server debug between linux kernel client and wmirr,
seems that an Topen is missing at wmirr.
