Exporting quiche source tree on sipb-ftp:/u2/lockers/linux-athena

(The name sipb-ftp won't exist until tomorrow.  Also, I don't have
/etc/exports restricting to *.mit.edu right yet, and will try to fix
it when I get back.)

I've copied quiche's source tree to picayune:/u2/lockers/linux-athena,
with group linux-dev.  People with tickets who are in linux-dev should
be able to write to the source tree there.

Issues:

	- Exports: There's stuff there that can't leave MIT, so we're
exporting /u2/lockers/linux-athena restricted to *.mit.edu.

	- Security: I'm not using the -x option to restrict access to
Kerberos-authenticated users; this way, users can do 'attach -t nfs -e
sipb-ftp:/u2/lockers/linux-athena' without using the -n option.  I
don't think there are any serious security problems here.

	- Builds: We previously had source in
/usr/athena/src/<package> and builds in
/usr/athena/src/build/<package>.  That won't work well if we're
NFS-mounting the sources.  I haven't actually done anything on quiche
yet, but we should come up with a new organization.

	- Quiche: I suggest we have quiche NFS-mount /usr/athena/src
and create /usr/athena/build or some sort.
