Just a small update on rxk5.

Tonight I hope to post a patch for of rxk5 m46+.
This will include a revised tokens interface
similar to that proposed in ``rxgk-client-integration''.
	[ Currently we're using "coordinated" ioctl#'s
	6,7,8 for VIOC_GETCAPABILITES,VIOC_GETTOKNEW,VIOC_SETTOKNEW.
	I'll pick something else instead that's not coordinated
	unless I hear something back positive about this. ]

Possible near-term work for rxk5 after this includes:
* windows: distributable kerberos integration for rxk5
* "secure cache manager" security mechanism improvements
	to better address issues including
	"OpenAFS Security Advisory 2007-001".
* solaris kernel kerberos integration

I'll post more detailed notes on what I propose
for the "secure cache manager" improvement tonight also.
