nfsv4 might want to use but i havent see anything in that direction.
a possible fix might be to get bsd and linux to support registering a
callback from the setgroups syscall.  directly modifying sys_call_table[]
was broken because its dangerous and difficult to do safely.

i suspect this was discussed with the linux kernel people, i dont know
their response.  since no one seems to have time to write (and debug!)
a full fledged cross platform pag api perhaps this can be argued as a
stopgap measure.
