Subject: pseudo root status?

What is the status of the dynamic pseudo root support in nfs-utils? I
see in commit b25694320f2bdd79de82f2003209b8229eafff36 mention of a way
to define an export with a pseudo root, but I cloned Steve's latest git
tree of nfs-utils and am not seeing much about pseudo root support at
all.

The 1.2.2 announcement message seems to include a blurb about it --
does this version have what I need?

With a recent kernel and nfs-utils, if you just omit "fsid=0" from your
export file then NFSv4 clients should see the same paths as v2/v3
clients.

The dynamic pseudo for v4 is fully supported in the Linux 2.6.33 kernel
along with nfs-utils-1.2.2...
