This stuff should definitely get in a news item when it rolls out. It
is rather extensive changes as my existing NFS setup would have
completely busted without doing s/nfsd/nfs-server/,
s/portmap/rpcbind/, killing nfslock, etc. It should also be very
apparent what exact changes need to be made (I think I covered most of
them there).

For now, I am *not* signing off until we get an install message that
doesn't tell me a bunch of unnecessary stuff (how to set up NFSv4) and
does say "this is a rather big upgrade, you are going to have to
change things", and nothing more. And please set up the message to
only show once so I don't see this on the next nfs-utils version bump
(vercmp is your friend).

Thanks for doing this upgrade, it looks like this set of tools is a
bit more self-contained, robust, and supports nfs 3 and 4 quite well.
