Unfortunately, libtirpc is still no full replacement for the sunrpc library

Hi Andreas,
Do you happen to know what's missing/deficient?
Mike Frysinger has written a couple of emails with details on this list
- and also on the libtirpc list, please check the archives.
Off my head I remember:
* libtirpc does not install all headers, so you still need some from an
old glibc install
* libtirpc was written to support NFSv4 and handles that one fine. Other
stuff, especially NIS/NIS+, is not working.
So, libtirpc is not a full replacement ;-(
