agc 882b051f50 Import the NetBSD iSCSI initiator, version 20071114, into the Packages
Collection.

This initiator is based on FUSE/ReFUSE.

	iSCSI is an IETF standard (RFC 3720) for remote access to block-level
	storage.  It can be thought of as similar to NFS, except that an NFS
	server exports files; the iSCSI target exports blocks to the iSCSI
	initiators, which are the clients.

	The NetBSD iSCSI initiator is based on FUSE/ReFUSE, and provides a
	portable initiator for any operating system with a FUSE-like
	interface.
