There isn't much documentation because there really isn't much you have
to do to enable it; a compile will pick up the right bits. But when I
said it wasn't ready for prime time, I really meant it. Specifically:
- The file server doesn't quite work yet (I'm working on that now).
- I haven't started writing the bits that make cache manager work
(my plan was to start testing it with a userspace client).
So unless you're ready to start developing the code, it's not going to
be useful. Hopefully that will change in the not-too-distant future.
