It is a non-gpl'ed "unzip" which will allow execution of a.out files which
have been sent through "gzip -9". The idea being saved disk-space.
Just now this code has quality rating: "working prototype".
To compress a file to be used with this, do it exactly this way:
gzip -9 -v < /bin/FOO > /tmp/FOO
remember to chmod /tmp/FOO as needed.
DON'T compress all of you binaries right away ! There are several things
which you should consider first:
1. Using compressed binaries, you use >MUCH< more VM, and thus swap-space.
2. It is slow.
3. It might crash your machine.
Apart from that, I welcome comments...
NB: There is also a change to sys/conf/files, but cvs core-dumped on me,
so it didn't get into the logs or emailed, but the commit seems to have
happended OK.

New AMD family ethernet driver. Should support BICC,NE2100, TNIC,
AT1500 and anything else that uses a Lance/PCnet type chip. Only been
tested with the BICC so far though.
Still work to do on performance and MULTICAST support needs to be added
but it's basically working and I want the revision history from this
point on

must #define NFS before including <sys/mount.h> to pick up some of
the definitions needed for struct diskless. Be sure to undef it after this
so you do not effect other code.
This is kinda sick, but it does the job. Problem found by davidg.
2. Clean up the .S files to use /* */ style comments.
This is a totally cosmetic change, not one byte of the resulting boot
code changes. But at least it is installed with correct owners and in
the right places, and gets recompiled correctly when things change!
vidcontrol out of machine-independance into the I386 & clean
dependant sections. Also move 'timed' out of machine-dependace into
machine-independance

2. New detection code so we know what boot code called us.
3. Remove old DISKLESS support code and halt if we are called by that boot
code as it will NOT work with the new nfs_diskless structure.
This is really in preperation for new boot code and new diskless support.
