Good. I think we can safely experiment on x86-64 version. On i386

Replacing of sunrpc requires to port rpcbind, as well as adding
some patches to current NFS server.
Yes, this is where I got stuck "before", when I tried to modernize the
RPC & NFS packages. We need to port rpcbind to cygwin, then modify the
nfs server. I have a partial port of rpcbind...it compiles (or did),
but doesn't run.
However, I haven't tried again in years, and cygwin has changed quite a
bit...so you may have more luck now, than I did then.
