So, question:
  are we going to have a new AFS sysname for 1.3? and if not, when will
1.3 become the 'norm' for machines?

  I was going to buid stuff for tb (gnu locker stuff), but then held
back since I wasn't sure if I should build 1.3 binaries when our release
is ready, or if I should just go ahead and build 1.2 ones (the 1.2
machine is crappier and slower, so i'd like to avoid this unless necessary).


 there is no rush to do it now, so waiting for 1.3 to become norm is okay.
however, I don't think we should wait more than a month or so...

   opinions?

(p.s. if we use a different sysname, then I can start building now I believe,
and build on 1.3 and not screw over 1.2 people, but it will require many
lockers to make compatibility symlinks)
