The problem is that there is a bug in certain imake's from Sun (and
possibly Sys V), so that if you look in the Makefile for lib/asn.1, you
will find that there is a missing tab before the line which calls the
pepsy program, which generates the KRB5-types.h file.

It seems that putting in a backslash before the ':' in the PEPSYTARGET
rule in the config/Projects.tmpl file might fix it, but I have no idea
why this would have any effect.  Imake is a real hack, and it is at the
mercy of vendor's cpp's fiobles.  Unfortunately, there isn't anything
better at the moment.  (sigh)
