Mostly, internal support for adding extensibility plugins to MIT
Kerberos. Two plugin interfaces are supported in 1.5. The first is
an internal interface for adding new database layers. There is a
plugin interface, but you need to have access to internal headers, so
any plugin built will be tightly coupled against a particular version
of MIT Kerberos.
The second is a plugin interface for locating the KDC to use.
This is a public interface.

This should be coming in 1.6.
