The Heimdal implementation is BSD licensed and can be utilized by
OpenAFS.  I would rather not have a third implementation that needs
to be supported.  There are too many undocumented *features* in the
krb5 profile format.

However, given the discussion that has taken place recently on
this list I believe that the krb5 profile format is the one we
should go forward with.
