WARNING: THIS MATERIAL MIGHT GO AWAY!
This material needs the core-groups approval to stay here for the 2.0 release.
If the core-group does not concent to this commit, it will be backed out.

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...
- Make a number of filesystems work again when they are statically compiled
(blush)
- FIFOs are no longer optional; ``options FIFO'' removed from distributed
config files.
This code is mostly taken from the 1.1 port (which was in turn taken from
Dave Mills's kern.tar.Z example). A few significant differences:
1) ntp_gettime() is now a MIB variable rather than a system call. A few
fiddles are done in libc to make it behave the same.
2) mono_time does not participate in the PLL adjustments.
3) A new interface has been defined (in <machine/clock.h>) for doing
possibly machine-dependent things around the time of the clock update.
This is used in Pentium kernels to disable interrupts, set `time', and
reset the CPU cycle counter as quickly as possible to avoid jitter in
microtime(). Measurements show an apparent resolution of a bit more than
8.14usec, which is reasonable given system-call overhead.
in your kernel config now).
2) Added ps ddb function from 1.1.5. Cleaned it up a bit and moved into its
own file.
3) Added \r handing in db_printf.
4) Added missing memory usage stats to statclock().
5) Added dummy function to pseudo_set so it will be emitted if there
are no other pseudo declarations.
use it in NFS. This is required both for diskless support and for POSIX
compliance. Note: the support in NFS is only for the local node.
