If you'll go read my message about this from earlie, "a sensible
upgrade path" involves making lots of copies of the srvd. (Having
/etc/athena/version and /usr/athena/etc/version won't help when the
things we need to update in some cases include "the kernel and
libafs".) I don't really want to expend lots of disk space on that
right now.
There's also a reason why Athena workstations have xlogin and console
in /etc/athena: if the workstation's off the net, the login programs
should still operate.
