Hmm, that is interesting.  I hadn't made the connection.  I don't
think bittorrent supports symlinks, hardlinks, permissions, ownership,
xattrs, or ACLs, though, which would make its use strictly
experimental for now.  But it would be something interesting to look
at post-FRS.  Certainly we should take a hard look before rolling a
new CDS from scratch; from the specification at
http://www.bittorrent.org/protocol.html it seems like the missing
filesystem metadata bits wouldn't be too hard to add.
