  This discussion caused me a lot of confusion. I dug around in
the archives and found a very _long_ thread ("In Defense of
TAPs") making some points to the opposite. When did tap files
go out of style? And what if I want to daemonize my application
anyway? How would I do so without mktap?

  Thanks!
