[OpenAFS] OpenAFS Win 1.7.3301 not working on windows 1709 ?

[Dave Botsch]

Without an infusion of money and/or interested developers, OpenAFS will
certainly have a rough go of it.

I'm hoping we can shortly start fundraising... if each organization
denotes at least $1K... that goes a LONG way towards paying one or more
folk to work on stuff.

Thanks.
