   After some quick hacking, I currently have a TCP-only version of afpd
   compiled and running on a Digital Unix platform (4.0D), based on
   asun2.1.3, built with native tools. It's not really tested yet, but it
   *does* work. I want to redo some of the changes before I send the patches
   out (there are some ugly #ifdef's in there... ;-)

erk. i certainly hope there aren't too many ugly #ifdefs. netatalk
basically needs the following info to get afp/tcp running on platform
x:
     1) something to stick in endian.h. i'm hoping that's there's some
        sort of convergence in what header files to use. digital unix
        uses <machine/endian.h>. i also need to know if
        int32_t/int8_t/etc. are defined somewhere, or if some
        guesswork has to be done.

     2) quota information. all these different operating systems do
        things different ways.

     3) some Makefile twiddling to disable compilation of the
        appletalk stuff.

#1 is critical. however, it can use something generic like
-DHAVE_64BITLONGS for machines that don't specify intX_t types. #2 can
have -DNO_QUOTA_SUPPORT if all else fails.
