extconf.rb hurts my soul #1
Description
The current OpenAFS .debs contain shared libraries for the interfaces that the native code needs to call, but for some reason, the dynamic linker is unable to find them. It links just fine if you manually drag in the _pic archive libraries instead of using the shared objects, but then you also have to find and link against the relevant Heimdal libraries to get the right set of crypto routines, and that's really not the Right Way, and it's highly operating-system-specific. What we have right now is only good for Debian/Ubuntu (only tested on Ubuntu 16.04 with the OpenAFS PPA).
We should figure out what the cross-OS Right Way is and do that.
