release, perhaps 1.6.23pre1.

Changes for to support linux 4.14 will be released as 1.6.22.1 in the event the
getcwd() are not merged by the of this week.

Other topics
============

Linux support
-------------

A new build dependency is need to build the kernel module on linux 4.15rc.
Builders now require the libelf-dev package on deb based systems, or
elfutils-libelf-devel on rpm based systems.  The nightly linux builders have
been updated with this new dependency.

Changes in OpenAFS code will be required to support 4.15, as usual for new
linux releases.
