On Vista/2008 "\Users\All Users\Application Data" is also
shadowed as \ProgramData.

What I have implemented is the ability to use the new
location simply by moving your CellServDB file there.
If a CellServDB file is found at \ProgramData\OpenAFS\Client
then that path becomes the default location for all client
configuration files.  (Not that we have any others at the
moment.)  If the CellServDB file is not found there, then
"\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client" continues to be used.

I have not modified the installers to move CellServDB from
"\Program Files" to \ProgramData.

If you download the current daily build from 
https://www.secure-endpoints.com/private.htm you will be
able to experiment with the new behavior.
