Okay, here's a question; I honestly don't understand something.  Why
do so many servers take a ``-x'' option to set the network mount point,
instead of taking the (presumably more general) ``-A announce_string''
(or whatever you want to call it, if -A doesn't float your boat)?  Can't
the nework directory be adequately specified using the announce string
syntax: /netdir/proto!addr!service or whatever?
