Yeah, *after* I know it works.  Not much point in documenting it if I'm
going to have to radically change it.

Folks, while really cool, this code is *experimental*.  You'd be
*insane* to use it in production in its current state, although I
certainly encourage lots of people to test it out and let me know
whether and how it breaks.

What it basically does is to use the Amanda fake-tape driver to write
emulated tapes to disk.  However, I've modified the driver to create
only files named with legal z/OS or z/VM filenames (depending on whether
you built with --enable-zos-hsm or --enable-zvm-hsm specified in the
./configure options).
