The place where our massive overlay didn't work too well was building
kernels from 1127 sources with a few of our own source files.  The
overlay file server that Russ and I wrote attempted to solve that but
also required a minor change to mk.  Unfortunately we wrote it using
the first public version of lib9p, which has since changed quite a
bit.  I'd like to take another stab at it once I've finished my
current round of file servers.

Actually most of my files remained on 1127's file servers, where they
had started out.  I had relatively few files on our departmental file
server, though obviously the overlay worked well enough that Anthony
couldn't tell. =E2=98=BA  I felt a little bad about hogging 1127's optica=

storage, but then Ken had ~160GB of compressed music on ours by the
end, which relieved my guilt somewhat.
