Subject: [9fans] new dial, cs and dns for ipv6

thinking about it more...  all what needs to be parallelized is the
write of the connect message so no backchannel is needed except
for reporting error/success (already done with the waitmsg in
geoffs implementation).

so it looks quite doable without any shared memory.

still, might take some time to come up with a small and clean
implementation.

so what are you going todo for now geoff?

a lib9p like forker that gets filled in by libthread is kind of a
overkill.  also the code would need rewriting as you cant preserve
rfork semantics with shared stacks (you need to pass a function
pointer and arguments because the child has to run on a new allocated
stack).
