http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/pynfs/tarballs/newpynfs20060822.tar.gz
contains a rough userland server.  It is still in development, but
minimally functional.  Its main limitations at the moment are:

1. memory based - all file writes are to memory, never to disk
2. state handling - mostly works, but there are some issues
3. attribute handling - does as little as possible
