That's because it's a kludge around a broken configure check for
GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE.  :)  Upstream is currently using
AC_EGREP_HEADER, but in current versions of Heimdal this is a define, so
egreping the results of the C preprocessor doesn't detect it.

This is a minimal fix suitable for a release freeze.  A better fix would
be for upstream to switch to AC_CHECK_DECL, but that's a larger change and
hence has more risk.  Ideally, one would be able to delete a fair chunk of
the upstream Autoconf macros in this area by using AC_CHECK_DECL
appropriately.
