Ah, ok. That was good news.

Sure. It was released in August so I would have been surprised if any
major distro picked it up yet. Still, it's good to be prepared.
Especially since this turned out to be a fairly minor patch.

They seem to work on 1.8.0_pre3 but I'm getting some unrelated linking
errors there so I can't actually run it at the moment.

Adapting the patches to apply to 1.6.22 seems to work except there is
one include that is missed in src/rxkad/rxkad_client.c, line 40.
Commenting that out as well gives a working compile and a running afs.
