RE NFS shares (i18n("shares")=="exports" :)

I recently had a really really cool idea on supporting the SMBish browsing of
NFS exports.

Either: datagram multicast, or configure a server's IP address (e.g., DHCP
compared to the old fasioned way) would be the protocol.

Just register your computer (`hostname`) and tell it your exports (showexports
or whatever the command).  It would be really cool methinks.

This is in no way associated with KDE, but how about someone volunteer to do
such a thing with myself in time for KDE2.1.  And then we/you could write an
ioslave :)
