I'm having some trouble parsing the changelog.  Maybe something like?:

	unix sockets: add ability to look up using passed-in root

	Export a unix_stream_connect_root() helper that allows a caller
	to optionally pass in a root path, in which case the lookup will
	be done relative to the given path instead of the current
	working directory.

I guess this is a question for the networking people, but: will it cause
problems to have sunrpc calling directly into the unix socket code?

(And if so, what would be the alternative: define some variant of
sockaddr_un that includes the root path?  Something better?)

--b.
