[OpenAFS] 1.1.0 client on RH 7.1

[Rudolph T Maceyko]

The "usual" practice may be that, but we've never done it for AFS.  It's usually NOT been possible to stop and restart AFS, anyway...

Anyway, to get back to the original issue...  I'm going to try marking /afs in the spec file as %config(missingok) to see if that works.  I'll add mkdir -p /afs or
somesuch in %post so it's there.  I still don't know whether rpm will allow a directory to be treated this way...
