Yes... CMU and Transarc are currently working in this direction
and they plan to work out _something_ for the sysname. I propose
we use whatever they decide. Perhaps we choose 'i386_linux22'
because that's what the 3.5 client uses... I don't want to
move towards 'linux4' until we find out what Transarc is doing...
They are supplying AFS, now.
