[ag-automation] Your rbf filesystem driver

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

As an old (and still nitros9 on a loaded coco3 w/6309 cpu) os9 user, I was 
tickled pink that someone had done this.  Thank you very much.

However, when the '0.65' version installed into a 2.6.27.2 tree, 2 things:

1. The xconfig selection for write support isn't displayed, although a check 
of the resultant .config in vim says it is set to 'y'.

2.  On the build, when it got to making the module, gcc upchucked but didn't 
return a show-stopper error.  Scrolling back up the shell's history, I find 
what looks to be an ABI changed sort of very verbose report.  I'll try to 
copy/paste it all here.

Sorry to be the bearer of unpleasant news, but I don't think I'm qualified
at my age (74) to fix it.  The height of my coding days dates back to doing
several versions of rbf.mn for the earlier nitros9 editions.  Much simpler 
machine then, this is a quad core 2.2Ghz phenom now.
