jeff also did a port that supports 386 and amd64.  this is a key bit for me, since
i don't usually run a 386 or pae kernel.  and it may support arm (it did at one
point).  you can track the tip from jeff's repo.  (sadly they won't include proper plan 9 support.)
it does not use openssh, but sadly my copy at least also doesn't work with ssh2.  it gets
confused in authentication.

jeff: is this supposed to work?

jeff's version of python has fixed the bug where reads of a plan 9 device reporting
0 size always failed.
