Actually, there are some slightly simpler changes than this. I landed a patch on master a while back that added all of the necessary symbols to libafsauthent to link perl-AFS against that, and fixed perl-AFS so that it would work against master. Those changes just need pulled up to 1.6, and perl-AFS modified so that it can handle the interface changes in 1.6. I was hoping to get that work done for 1.6.2, but haven't had the time so far.
