I have an HP35480 DAT drive and want to be able to send the retension
command to it with gnu mt, but looking at /usr/include/sys/mtio.h, I 
see MTRETEN is not supported.

I assume that if the drive supports this command, adding this would be
as simple as defining MTRETEN to the appropriate value, no?

Anyone know what that would be?
