About the name...  I understand that you chose vncompress (without the
'd' in vnd) because it matches vnconfig.

However, vnconfig should be really named vndconfig, as the device is
vnd, not vn (this was discussed in the past, IIRC).  I'm wondering...
could we rename the utility (and provide a compatibility link for the
old name, of course)?

(Just asking this to avoid the addition of another tool with an
"incorrect" name.)

Cheers,
