I think it would be very worthwhile to combine a few different functions
of this sort into a cnfs-util program (along with cnfsheadconf, and maybe
cnfsstat too while we're at it).  I'd like to get the CNFS code cleaned up
some too, though, since right now I have a really hard time reading it at
all.
