I think that a simple version number will be sufficient and that a sizeof
will be convenient.  I don't think the sizeof should be a #define like
now, but rather an actual sizeof().

The current #define SIZEOF is unlikely to work on Bruce's i386/64bit-long
kernel for instance.

if we want to go _way out_ we define the structures with XDR.
