I've written quite some code already to implement this.  I've included
the patch with this mail, I hope that is ok (otherwise I can upload it
to the savannah patch manager next time, if you are willing to use
it).

This patch is far from perfect, I'm sending it in to get some feedback
if I am doing this the right way.

Before reading the patch you should know a bit about (passive)
translators:

A passive translator described how a translator should be started if
a user accesses a node.  For example:

/hurd/iso9660fs /dev/hd2

This will "automount" the CDROM, this can be set on a node like
/mnt/cdrom.  But translators will be used for almost everything, like
device access.  Storing the major and minor device won't work (hd0 is
0, 0 for example).  You will have to store the passive translator, for
hd0 that will be:

/hurd/storeio hd0

And the arguments are (and should be) separated with \0's.  Using
spaces is not possible, what if an argument contains a space.

In this patch I escape all special characters (so there is \0, \n and
\\).  When listing a node with a translator I replace the \0 with a
space.

I wrote a patch like this a while ago for the `old' tar (without POSIX
support).  This one works differently, a translator is not a filetype
anymore.  Now the underlying file will be stored as well.

Something that is important to keep in mind is that I avoid starting
translators and reading stat information from the translator, I read
everything from the underlying node (well, only when the user uses
--no-deref-trans option).  That's why I test (or should) test if a
node is a translator before accessing a node before accessing it in
case this option is used.

But this patch is not yet done.  I should do the following stuff
before it is done:

- Add support to configure.ac to check for features.
- Make sure compare works.
- Test it a bit more.
- Make sure I didn't break stuff for non GNU/Hurd systems.
- Re-read all of my code and clean it a bit up, etc.
- I've added code to files that will be rewritten by Sergey, I must
  make sure that the new files work correctly.
- Let the Hurd hackers proof read it.

Can you please tell me if I did something wrong?  Perhaps I put some
functions/code in the wrong file or perhaps I've implemented something
that already exists, etc.  Please tell me as well if some code sucks, I
know I'm not a that good hacker.  And have a close look at my
changelog, my English sucks. :)

I also found a problem with sys/system.h, I had to include <utime.h>
to make it work.  Is there some autoconf test failing here? (I have
very little knowledge about autoconf)

If you want to test the patch just have a look at this public Debian
GNU/Hurd box: http://hurd.she.kicks-ass.org:8084/

Well, I hope this mail is not too chaotic, I should not send mail when
I'm really tired. ;)

Thanks for all the help so far.
