API to open a file, read from it, then get some kind of re-read event
any time you try to access the data you read, but the file has changed
on disk.  i.e. config files

	crypto checks in Linux
		check executables to make sure they're signed
		encrypt files to enforce permissions (only read w/passwd)
	some kind of check to "catch" a program no matter how it exits

	chaining DHCP/dynamic DNS
		DNS servers should accept signed, dynamic SOAs
		NAT domains may contain extra DNS entries that shouldn't
			be visible outside the NAT domain
		see RFC 2694
	PPP code should display DNS server options and use them
	dynamic interfaces
		named/dhcpd should be prepared to handle new interfaces
		SNMP interface to notify new interfaces
		better naming scheme than eth0/eth1/etc

Compiler
========
pipeline it
	uses: faster, parallel compiles
move it into shared lib and add API
	uses: java (secure java, kernel java)
add compile-time interpreter
	API becomes very important here
	replacement for traditional preprocessor
	use C code interactively or in a script (#!/usr/bin/gcc)

Intel emulator
==============
	- has to deal with self-modifying code
	- reordering code
		- precise exception handling (Transmeta uses a rollback scheme)
		- posibility of multiple address for same memory area
		  affects ability to reorder load/store ops
	- some checks can be pulled out of dynamic code.
		i.e, if (protected_mode()) - dynamic code can assume true
