Nobody answered this, so I'm going to assume that nobody else is using 
it.  I consider this to be a good thing, because it means there's less 
of a chance that my changes will break what other people are doing and I 
already know my changes work for us.

At any rate, I created a dev/dave64 git branch that contains the changes 
I made.  I encourage you to test it if you're interested.

You'll need to specify --enable-afs and --enable-krb5afspts.  If it 
doesn't just find your AFS libraries and headers, you can use 
--with-afs-libdir and --with-afs-incdir.

Thanks,

Dave
