At least in Debian, which has an openafs package, I can file a bug somewhere
about whatever the silly thing that changed that broke ./configure, and the
developer who made the change actually might care enough to think about why
it broke.

I'm not even going to pretend to think that anyone at Apple actually cares 
if they break the OpenAFS build with an xcode/OSX/etc change.

For OSX, can we update http://openafs.org/macos.html to point to a 
wiki page, and then I'll put a link to the archive, so that I can find
it right away when looking for a MacOSX package?
