All current platforms have a quad type that maps to a 64bit scalar.
But there are platforms where quad maps to a 64bit non-scalar.
Replace quad with int64 in the protocol definitions and the ZDR layer
so that these fields will map to a 64 bit scalar also on those platforms
where quad can not be used.

use getgid() as the group instead of -1.
Recent linux knfsd do not allow grp==-1
On windows there are no uid/gids in the traditional sense so there I still specify a default credential of uid==gid==-1 :
rpc->auth = authunix_create("LibNFS", 65535, 65535, 0, NULL);
This is I think the sanest/safest thing to do since most servers will have
special handing of -1 meaning 'nobody' or similar.
This should work on many/most servers and give the user the minimum available
access allowed for 'nobody'.
I think on windows (or AROS for that matter) applications will probably have
to invoke and set the credentials themself explicitely.
Those apps probably, unfortunately, also need to have a configuration
setting to select which uid/gid to use when talking to the server.
(or they could hardcode it)
rpc_set_auth(rpc, libnfs_authunix_create("hostname", uid, gid, 0, NULL))
should do the trick if they call immediately after creating the rpc/nfs context.
But dont set it to 0,0 root/root for uid/gid.
First of all, most servers have root-squash so they will re-map this uid/gid
to 'nobody' internally.
But, if the user uses a server that does not do root-squash, then setting this to 0,0 would mean that your app now access the nfs share as root which is probably not what you want.
This patch switches libnfs over to use precompiled rpcgen files
and using ZDR. ZDR is a trivial reimplementation of XDR that is built in
into libnfs.
This removes the dependencies of rpc/xdr completely and allow us to build on any
system, even systems where rpcgen and librpc/libxdr are not generally available.
