IIRC, libdes, which is what SSLeay has in crypto/des, and thusly
OpenSSL as well (or at least originally :-)), was written to be
compatible with MIT KRB's DES library, so EAY would be able to write
eBones-Kerberos, which in turn is the basis for KTH-krb4.  MIT KRB5
and Heimdal (the krb5 implementation made at KTH in Sweden) both still
use libdes, as far as I know, so they do come with some compatibility
problems.

It's worth noting that libdes has evolved a little here and there.
With Heimdal, there are some new functions that are not present in
OpenSSL.

All this makes for some very interestring hacks to be able to use
OpenSSL where libdes in various forms were previously used...
