I've had a bit of fun with this. It just isn't sensibly buildable on
solaris as it comes in the distribution (netatalk-1.4b2).

The BSD bzero trio and rindex are littered all over the code. Defining them
out would be great but for the inclusion of ddi.h which externs them and
then ties the compiler in a knot. If this was a user level program I'd just
hack it, but since it goes in the kernel, life could become a little
exciting if I don't get it just right...

So, if anyone has built this on solaris and would care to share the trick,
please do. It's Xmas day and quite frankly I'd rather eat a mince pie, or
three.
