True, oddly enough.  I have a copy, though.  nester-dc v3 uses it and it's
included with the source code.  Both nester and libsnss are GPLed, so one
option is to study nester's interface to libsnss, and libsnss itself,
understand them, and then rewrite the support for tuxnes.  nester's code is
pretty clean, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I think google fails to find libsnss because it was previously stored on 
nofrendo.com, which seems to have disappeared.  You guys might want to join
the nesdev mailing list and ask where the code is kept now.

If you guys can't find the nester source code, I'll send along a copy of
nester-dc v3.
