Notes:

[4]	We've heard of trouble when using -O2 optimization or higher.

[3] Native-mode port available.

[2]	Add "-lsun" to loader libs when using libpvm.
	If using YP, may have to add "-lsun" to ARCHDLIBS in Makefile.

[1]	Doesn't have rexec(); pvmd startup is limited to rsh, hence pw
	option is not allowed in the hostfile.
