Only reason I'm doing it on hpux is cause I like to have some of the recent features 
of the command line tools. (I'll fall back to old afsd if necessary, but I still 
prefer recent vos/pts/etc.)

BTW, Derrick, any news on the hpux kernel front?

For some reason, it doesn't build the objdir directories, and thereby can't build the 
Makefiles in the subdirs/etc. It really looks ugly. It's most likely some autoconf 
screwup on hpux platform.
