Responsible-Changed-Why: 
I'm going to look at this, but I think Novell's engineering is dead
wrong here.  There is no way *any* NFS client can detect changes in
a file's data if the server doesn't update mtime on the file when
the data changes.

I know some folks at Novell/SuSE and maybe they can connect me to
the right engineers to help out.
