   * When creating a new file server in afs-newcell, use a set of tuning
     flags from Harald Barth rather than relying on the defaults.  This
     doesn't help with general bos create; long term, the defaults need to
     be fixed.
   * Add a note in README.servers about fileserver tuning options.

       addhost to add the new server to /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB:
