If you 'make dest', the resulting tree will look just like the binary 
distributions that Transarc and IBM used to provide.

If you configure with --enable-transarc-paths, the expected locations of 
files will be consistent with the IBM documentation, and the cacheinfo file 
will be /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo.

If you do not use this option, you will get a more "normal" filesystem 
layout, and the cacheinfo file will be /etc/openafs/cacheinfo.
