[9fans] 9p "stubs" - ?

[Wladimir Mutel]

	Greetings,

	I read an article about putting Inferno into lego brick.
	There they mention styx stubs library, that allows a
	small device to conversate by styx protocol without having
	the whole inferno kernel in its memory, i.e. to be a simple
	fileserver with small fixed file hierarchy. They say there were
	only 32K of memory in that brick.

	So, the question is if similar library for 9p protocol exists ?
	Taking in mind similarity of Inferno and Plan9, I guess it should
	be.
	
	Thanks for your answers.

i don't see why not.  i haven't tried it, but i suspect we could change
it to do both, since the message type values identify the protocol.
we need to do a proper paper, tidy up the code and make it available.
