5) People already have an aklog and are still using that one rather than
switching to the one that ships with OpenAFS yet.

I'm going to start dealing with these issues with 1.4.1 when asetkey is in

This does normally just work.  aklog was *just* added to the tree in the
1.4.0 release and we're still working out the kinks with trying to link to
both Kerberos and AFS libraries at the same time.
