The one complaint I have with your patch is that it modifies the profile
library and requires that applications know about the profile field of
the context 0 which they don't normally do - if they only include
krb5.h.
Perhaps a better solution would be to call the functions
krb5_appdefault_string, etc and take a krb5_context as an argument.
Also - I would prefer if the #define of KRB5_DEFAULT_LIFE was still used
- although changed to "10h 0m 0s" as it makes it very obvious what to
change to change this default behavior.
