I have several objections to this proposal.

First of all, I still want the full autofs rewrite -- autofs 5 -- done 
at some point, and I think this infrastructure would be in the way.

As far as BK is concerned, the license is absolutely facist since it 
bans you from doing open source development in certain areas.  For 
obvious reasons this is unacceptable to me.
