Raymond,

	I added code for supporting the User Mode Linux as  a  supported
architecture.  The code should be in both 1.2.10 and in the CVS HEAD.  I
do notice that I need to update the patch for CVS HEAD because it uses a
mechanism to detect UML which no longer works with the newer UML release
code.  Note that you do need to have the Linux kernel source  code  with
the UML patch applied available in /usr/src/linux.

	The configuration should be identical to the one used for  Linux
based OpenAFS.
