Thanks.  I'm almost ready to commit it.

I added a bit to the documentation to describe the arguments passed to
the callout.

For mountd

+).
+The program will be called with 4 arguments.
+The first will be
+.B mount
+or
+.B umount
+depending on the reason for the callout.
+The second will be the name of the client performing the mount.
+The third will be the path that the client is mounting.
+The last is the number of concurrent mounts that we believe the client
+has of that path.


For statd

+The program will be run with 3 arguments:  The first is either
+.B add-client
+or
+.B del-client
+depending on the reason for the callout.
+The second will be the name of the client.
+The third will be ....
+.TP


Note that for statd, I dropped the third arg being passed.  It seemed
easier than explaining in the doco why there is a fourth arg.
Also note that I don't remember what "my_name" is all about.  Could
you provide a small piece of text to go there.

Finally, would you consider having "unmount" instead of "umount" as a
possible first arg for the mountd callout?

Thanks
