I would love to get Heimdal into Fedora. Looking at the discussion above, in
order to reconcile with MIT, we have the following options:

 1. Install to /usr/heimdal. This will require an exception from FESCo.

 2. Rename the Heimdal files to not conflict with MIT. Eg.
"/usr/bin/kinit.heimdal", "kadmin.heimdal", etc. Use alternatives to switch
between the two Kerberos implementations. This allows for side-by-side
installations with MIT.

 3. Use Conflicts: with the appropriate MIT packages. You have to choose to
install one or the other.

I imagine that #1 does not have a good chance of passing FESCo. Does #3 break
useful things like pam_krb5? #2 seems like the path of least resistance to
me... more experienced packagers, please weigh in your opinions.
