Off the top of my head, you could write a script to prune orphaned
.AppleDouble entries, [I believe someone on the list already did this],
and run that from time to time, or via cron, or at boot-time, or when the
moon is gibbous[you get the idea :)], or you could compile the hfs module
with the tweak for sharing via netatalk, and export the whole hfs
partition.
