[Darwincoda] Partial success with Mac OS X coda client

Before I write anything else, all the real code here is due to
Christer Bern�rus and Pekka Nikander, but I thought I'd try to pull
together the current state, as well as report some remaining problems.

This is still true, as you'll see in the attached patch I'm still
hacking it in by hand.  I think I know how to do this, but I won't be
able to get to it before Sept 1 because of international travel.

With Christer's kernel module (with and without Pekka's patch to make
the Finder work) I have successfully listed directories, read files,
logged in, and created files in the root volumes of two servers, my
own and testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu.  With Pekka's patch, the Finder
finds /coda and /coda/tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp (my server), but it
can't list my root volume claiming it's not registered or something
like that (it's in Japanese).  It also shows up as a network volume
(in a frame of the finder with the hard drive local volume, and some
Apple-specific network volumes).  The testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu realm
doesn't show up in either place, even if I ls or cd to it.

I don't know if there's more than a root volume on testserver, but in
my own realm I was unable to get a listing for directories contained
in any volume but the root.  An attempt to do cfs lv would give a no
such file or directory error, while ls -l shows not directories but
the magic symlink from a Coda mount point to the volume (eg, ls -l
/coda/tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Software/XEmacs would produce
information of the form

etc.  As you can see the regular files and regular directories are
fine.  The suspiciously ancient dates on the symlinks are consistent
with creation of the mountpoints on those dates, I guess.

I'm currently having problems with authentication, it's not finding
the authserver for my realm although I have an authservers line in
venus.conf, nor the testserver realm.  But in an earlier build, before
I upgraded Mac OS X from 10.3.4 to 10.3.5, both worked without a -host
spec.  clog -host tleepslib... codakami_at_tleepslib... still works, but
not clog -host testserver... guest_at_testserver... (I guess testserver's
authserver is not testserver?)  I suspect that somehow the necessary
ioctls or something are not properly getting #included or #ifdef'd in
the clog code in the current build, since it did work before, but I'd
appreciate any advice on where to look.

Here's the patch against Coda proper I'm running with.  (The kernel
module is available from Christer's project on cvs.opendarwin.org, and
is Christer's code plus a patch posted by Pekka.)

The changes to the Makefile.in's reflect the problem with libresolv.

Either in a recent change to Coda, or when I updated to Mac OS X
10.3.5 recently some ioctl macros got lost.  AFAICT from code in other
places, "defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__)" is the accepted way
to spell "Darwin" in #if's.  I've just set things up to pull in that
code on Darwin as well as for DJGPP.  This required some
rearrangement to avoid redefining other macros that Darwin does
provide in kerndep/pioctl.h.

A bit of poking around in the system headers leads me to believe that
the NetBSD way of getting a process's name should work on Darwin, thus
the comment in util/proc.cc.

I don't know about Coda's style in these matters; the hack to #define
__BSD44__ in venus/worker.h is safe, I think, but of course it risks
getting forgotten and never fixed properly.  I'll think about
autoconfiscating this, too.

The autobogotify cache really needs to be trashed in make distclean,
for sure, and maybe in make clean, as well (the latter is my
preference, but of course it does slow down the compile/test cycle).
So I propose adding that in configs/Makerules.

Thanks to Christer and Pekka for all the hard work on the Darwin
kernel extension, and to the Coda team at large!
