Currently working on the menu system, adding a number of options, for those who like to see what it is doing and tweaking around with things.

Commenting out the source code, so anyone can read and understand what it is doing.

The plan over the next few months is to add the following (your more than welcome to request more features).

1. Windows shell integration (while the server is running) for adding/removing shares.
2. Creating 3 flavors - 32 bit & 64 bit x86, and as a service (with command lines switches for both).
3. NFS version 4.0, 4.1, and web nsf support.
4. NFS client for browsing other NFS mounts.
