There is a generic RPC server helper in nfs-utils called rpc_init().
This API will need to be modified to support IPv6 in statd and mountd,
at least.

However, there is a comment inside support/nfs/rpcmisc.c, where
rpc_init() resides, that suggests that this interface is also used by
unfsd.

Is it OK for me to modify nfs-utils' copy of this function, or is there
any kind of ABI restriction between unfsd and nfs-utils?
I don't see any problem... Is there even a supported/maintained version
of unfsd out there today? I did a quick google search and didn't find
anything but man pages...
I found this ancient web page:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/6572509/com/unfs3-0.9.20-1.el3.pp.i386.rpm.html

which suggests there is no binary dependency between unfsd and nfs- utils.
I ask because we have had some unfsd questions on the list in the past  
year, so I assumed it was something that was still supported by some  
distributions.
