Actually, I ended up changing that some more...

No; that incantation translates the NIS-distributed autofs maps into
amd file maps; I am running it in a cron job.  

The regular expression handling for the glue you're missing will, I
suspect, be along the same lines (probably not in awk, though :-).  I
will try to use autofs when you merge it down to RELENG_5.  And
although it's a "production" environment, it's just my own desktop,
which is a non-critical machine.

Be well.
