I've recently synchronized some of the changes I made over the summer
with the zephyr locker. Thus, we can do a snapshot of the source tree
at just about any time. However, there are some service-side changes
for better authentication which aren't currently folded into the
source tree, because we don't want to put them into production until
we have all the client changes out in the field.
I guess we can still do an interim release. I'll talk to some people
when I get the chance.

Actually, I've already started work on using configure instead of
imake to configure the Zephyr source tree. Much of the work on
moving Kerberos 5 from imake to configure was done at DCNS.
