	I don't know anyone who has rewritten mbuf allocation to use
	streams data structures, but I do know that you need to do a lot
	more work to convert BSD TCP to streams than you realize. The mbuf
	stuff is simple compared to creating true STREAMS drivers or modules
	that conform to the STREAMS architecture. Your approach may be a start
	but I believe that you have a long way to go. You should get a copy of
	the AT&T Streams Programmer Guide. This will surely show you how the
	rest of the work beyond mbuf conversion is very extensive.
