Looks as if it isn't quite working out. (see above) The problem is that I
don't have to register pallio or anything, just add the line:

	# lakart pallio(DAILY)

to lakart's map entry. Now, to add (say) a bogus mcvax, I just add:

	# lakart mcvax(DIRECT)

to my map entry, and:

	mcvax Never

to L.sys, and the dirty deed is done. The software on pallio would need
a recompilation, but I'm not going to do it since pallio only has 20 Megs
of storage.
