[someone can't make up their minds whether to use tabs or whitespace;
that's in the krb5.b5 source, not me.]
It may be a deliberate `feature' that @KRB5ROOT (set from --with-krb5-root)
doesn't affect krb5.conf, but I find it confusing and easy to forget;
so I'd tend to call it a bug.
Is this deliberate behaviour (perhaps even with a well-thought-out
rationale) or just an accident?
