It seems to me right off the bat that this is going to be hard since the
AFS libraries aren't shared libraries right now, which means you couldn't
use them as they are now. You'd either need to recompile the AFS libraries
with the appropriate compiler magic, or re-implement the necessary glue.
Recompiling them as shared libraries might also be ... interesting. You'll
probably have to delve deep into the LWP stuff, since on many (all?) platforms
that's assembly code and won't be position-independent code.
(Not that it really matters to us, since it's unlikely we're going to be
using CDE. Thank Ghod that SGI's still use XDM, even if it is a hacked-up
version of it :-) ).
