What also may be nice if if libkopenafs along with the wrappers can be
made to compile stand alone so it could be more easly be  linked and
distributed to possibly systems with out afs installed,  similary to the
libkafs.a in your kstart package but with out the requirement for afs to
be pre-installed for some non-linux systems ? =20
