I wasn't aware of the previous instance, but the stuff Anthony Ligouri did for the qemu-based-9p server used this approach and I liked it so much I sucked it into the v9fs kernel code but there isn't currently a standalone library version of it (but it should be trivial to extract it from the kernel code -- specifically: http://is.gd/1q7hV ). I wanted to do a Plan 9 version using fmtinstall (or some variant) because that should make it a lot cleaner, but never got around to doing it. -eric
