Dear folks,

after some delay i've picked up my work on UDF support for NetBSD again. 
Esp. since i learned that OpenBSD now has imported FreeBSD's UDF support 
code! :) NetBSD surely needs it soon.

My strategy is still to develop the UDF support using a two-track system; 
developing the proof-of-concept first in userland and simultaniosly 
thinking and trying out kernel parts. The userland part has now undergone a 
significant reshaping and resembles a kernel implementation more than ever. 
As added benefit i've leared a lot about in-kernel file-buffer workings and 
the at times severely limiting behaviour of the strange critters CD/DVD 
drives are.

The progress is that i think i can start on a full read/write version 
in-kernel as soon as this current udfclient 0.4 version sees the daylight. 
This version also mimics the workings of a buffer-cache more or less.

Watch this space or pkgsrc/misc/udfclient for more news.

Cheers,
Reinoud
