Good to know no 2 distributions can ship something without at least one 
"improving" it.

choosing the largest version number available is seldom what you actually 
want.

i expect there will be an srpm for 1.4.5pre2, if someone can give a hint 
as to what we might need to fix in src/packaging/RedHat/openafs.spec.in in 
1.4.5pre1 I will see if we can accomodate Yellow Dog
