Hi folks,
here's a patch against p9p for an "proxy mode" in 9pserve, like Russ
suggested. It just adds an new "-c" option which tells 9pserve to
dial to an address as it's input connection (instead of taking stdio).
This way, 9pserve can eg. be used as a proxy between a unix socket
and TCP, making p9p servers available via TCP.
