[OpenAFS] OpenAFS Client Availability

[Jeffrey Altman]

The 1.5.15 release is particularly important if you are compiling from
AFS as it ensures that data written to AFS is read from the cache and
not from the file server.

Make sure that the cache is large enough for your working set.  The
default cache size is 80MB.  The theoretical maximum on 32-bit Windows
is approximately 1.2GB but 800MB is the practical maximum on most systems.
