hi,
hmm, not really...;-) 'cause it would be far nicer to be able to
disableit at compile time..

i'd like to run it on platforms that aren't supported (hp-ux, aix...), and
i believe that a port will be far easier when we can disable all the
appletalk stuff while compiling..

the perfect thing would be to have an afpd (and maybe papd?!?!) that can
be configured and compiled using gnu's configure style build...

so far makefiles were allright, cause netatalk HAD TO be ported "by hand"
due to the kernel stuff, but without appletalk??

regards,
ct
