I'm serious about what I said about why I put the version matching code
in the libafs in the first place.
In this specific instance, there's nothing different in the interfaces
that libafs uses between 1.1A and 1.1B, so you're probably safe just
editing the binary. However, in the past there have been changes which
*have* affected libafs (e.g. networking changes from custom doubly
linked lists to tailqs) and would cause a machine crash without a
properly matched pair.
