A comment made in the "chown: right or wrong" discussion, which said
"you generally can't move directories around in any interesting way..."
(John Levine), reminded me of a utility we have had here for aeons
called MVDIR.  It permits directories to be moved anywhere on a device,
permissions granting.  We use it on both V6 and V7 filesystems, and
have noticed no problems.  The code is well commented, and should
move easily to V6 and V7 variants.  Is there such a utility for
VMUNIX (of any flavor?).

Requests and comments to <Mike@BRL>.
