    $local is very often the dumping ground for such objects; there's just no
    commonly-accepted standard for this practice, though.  Short of telling
    everyone to port from one single MOO, it will come down to object numbers
    in the end I think.  Yr right, it is a standards problem.

    Autoport includes an option called `owner'.  For example:
      @autoport Lambda.xerox.com 8888 Janus fat-chance #1234 owner=$hacker

    By default, anything you port is owned by you.  The owner option lets you
    set the owner of what you're porting to something else.
