I submitted a small set of patches to Derrick a while ago that added the
groundwork for 5.0-CURRENT support (adding an AFS SYSID, updates to the
configure and Makefile to allow compilation on 5.0-CURRENT), but I don't
know what's happened with them.

I've also got a bunch of other stuff in progress to fix up all the #include
nastyness that -CURRENT brings with, but I haven't touched this for at least
a month.

I'll forward the first set of patches to the list today.
