[OpenAFS-port-darwin] gui version of mount_afs available

[David Botsch]

Well, obviously, it can be recompiled with /afs substituted for /Network/afs
(if the commandline mount_afs works, then mine will work, too).

Is their want of me to recompile it as such on Jaguar with that option or to
just put the source up?

(I don't yet have Panther, so, can't actually compile something under Panther).
