[OpenAFS] openafs-authlibs RPMs

[Derek Atkins]

Those RPMS are not built by default because the libraries are
broken (see the openafs-devel archives for a discussion on
this topic, or the open bug report:

	http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=18767

I'm not at all surprised that the build fails or the RPMs are
broken.
