Since I'm getting back into the swing of things, I want to give
praises as well as scoldings.

Scoldings: interoperability for doing things like exporting
filesystems to Inferno and importing these is a huge pain in the ass,
and poorly documented. (Yes, I know, write documents, Devon). I'm just
pointing out that, after talking with Kris for 2 hours last night, I
finally got the magical auth stuff and everything working well enough
to mount my Inferno exported filesystem. (I tried exporting from Plan
9 to Inferno, but I kept getting fversion conversion problems).

A lot of my problems are due to misconceptions and misunderstandings
about what things do.

Praises: cpdir -m is amazing. 10 thumbs up. Cookies, kudos and beer.
Utilities like this need to be in the main distribution.
