Those are great bug reports.  The guys actually supporting Andrew should
take them seriously.

I can help with only a few of these.

The Imakefile should be passing in a correct value for DESTDIR via the
following hack:
	-${CSHELL} gendemo  -force -DESTDIR ${DESTDIR} ${DESTDIR}/.MESSAGES/demo

I've always ignored any problems with ams/gendemo since I don't want an
AMS demo folder created where this thing wants to put it, anyway.  But
running this thing assumes that you have CUI configured properly (i.e.
assumes that you have an AndrewSetup file that will make things work). 
Generally, the time when you're building the software is not the time
that you want to get AMS running, so it's an inconvenient interruption. 
Sigh.

Yup, the AFS 3.0 distribution no longer generates librauth.a, and there
are backward-compatibility functions available.  Last November, which is
the last time I tested this, using these backward-compatibility
functions prevented PC users from authenticating with their cleartext
passwords, though it was possible to authenticate by copying tokens from
one process to another with no problems.  With dozens of other things to
do, I didn't pursue the problems further.  Sorry.

Yes, it works fine, but you have to say ``fs monitor localhost'' or its
equivalent.  (It used to be ``fs monitor <hostname>''.)  This gets the
local cache manager to send the messages that Console will monitor.
