Yes! Pretty please? With sugar?

One of the bothers of AFS/OpenAFS for new users is that you constantly 
get "oh, but that is a known bug/feature since 137AD. You have to do 
this incantation to make it work reasonably". This scares new users 
off, or at least drives the dedicated newbies half insane.

Actually, getting useful default cache parameters should be rather 
high on the priority list given that large file support is in. Waiting 
for a 4GB-file to be written in a few MBytes/s on your gigabit network 
isn't THAT amusing.
