I wouldn't call it "luck" ... those are likely the only ones you really
need.

It's one of those things that I know about, but I haven't worked on it.
Mostly it's autoconf related issues (from what I recall).  The real issue
is that aklog needs some work, but I'm focusing this effort into putting
aklog into OpenAFS (I started this work last week; we'll see how it goes).

(I don't really recall that the autoconf problems were _that_ terrible,
personally; when I ran into it I just edited the generated Makefile and
fixed the few things that needed fixing).
