Oh. That's what I get for being out of the loop, I've even managed to 
miss that release announcement.

However, things doesn't seem perfect since afsd segfaults on me upon 
startup. Debug symbols seems stripped too, so the coredump doesn't do 
much good.

So, one request for future benefit would be that the debug symbols are 
left in the binary tarballs. Also, including the manpages would be 
nice ;).

I'll look into building 1.4.8 from source and see why it fails on me, 
but that'll have to wait until Monday.
