[ale] NFS Client for windows.

[Jeff Hubbs]

Back in my MS-boosting days, they made something called Windows NT
Services for UNIX that almost certainly provided NFS client capability.

I don't know if it still exists or if it was discontinued once the
ascendance of Linux began to seriously endanger MS' vendor lock-in
designs.  Back then, it would have been prudent for MS to offer a way
for NT clients to hit Sun, SGI, or other Unixy systems as a sop to the,
oh, 0.05% of market share that that capability would have appealed to.

Barring that, there are/were third party packages.  I've used something
for this before as recently as 1999 but damned if I can remember what it
was called.  The people who made the Reflection terminal emulator series
(Walker Richer, & Quinn?  How do I *remember* this stuff??) had
something, I believe.
