[OpenAFS] Filedrawers - does it work today?

[Staffan Hämälä]

Just so anyone else interested in this knows:
I now have filedrawers running on:
apache 2.4.12 , php 5.6.6 and Smarty-2.6.28

Everything seems to work. Mod_auth_kerb needed a patch to get it to 
compile under apache 2.4.

Mod_waklog is a bit tricky, as the latest version for download is from 
2009. However, you need the version from git. That version compiles 
without any trouble at all.
