I'm afraid of making any implied commitment to keep SIPB-Athena
releases in sync with mainline Athena releases.

Also, we should get stuff out of /afs/dev/user/nathanw.  I can make
the appropriate volumes, but we need to decide how it's going to look.
Also, I think right now you're building stuff using a union mount to
deal with the crunched binaries; I favor making copies of the sources
we use and... doing something intelligent so that we can build without
a union mount.  Not sure exactly how that interacts with the
afsd/librx source code.

Sorry for the incoherency.
