    manpage: fix nouser_xattr description
    
    The manpage erroneously states that nouser_xattr is the default, when
    it's actually the reverse.

    setcifsacl: add fallback for when plugin can't be loaded
    
    Allow setcifsacl to function even in the case where the plugin can't
    be initialized. ID mapping of course won't work, but we can still allow
    it to accept "raw" SID strings.

    autoconf: add another suggested package name for krb5 headers
    
    Added an alternate package name for krb5 headers.
    
    Noticed the following suggestion asks for the wrong package (at least
    wrong for FC17)
    
    checking krb5.h presence... no
    checking for krb5.h... no
    checking krb5/krb5.h usability... no
    checking krb5/krb5.h presence... no
    checking for krb5/krb5.h... no
    configure: WARNING: krb5.h not found, consider installing
    krb5-libs-devel. Disabling cifs.upcall.
    
    [sfrench at w500smf cifs-utils]$ sudo yum install krb5-libs-devel
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
    No package krb5-libs-devel available.
    Error: Nothing to do
    [sfrench at w500smf cifs-utils]$ sudo yum install krb5-devel
    
    (installing krb5-devel worked, but not krb5-libs-devel for this version)

commit f03c51bbbbc5169fdf9431afd1f30f372531a6be

    cifs.upcall: try to use default credcache if we didn't find one
    
    Fedora is in the process of moving to KEYRING: credcaches which are not
    currently handled by cifs.upcall. We could try to detect when they're in
    use, but it's simpler and more robust to just try to use the default
    credcache whenever we don't find a FILE: or DIR: cache.
