I have had several problems trying to build the MacOS projects (that
came with krb5-1.0), so many that sending a detailed bug report will
take quite a bit of effort, so before I send a report could you please
let me know if you know of problems like the following:
	all files have the wrong creator ('MWCC' instead of 'CWIE')
	projects contain files that don't exist
	header files #define some existing functions to functions that
	  don't exist (send() becomes krb5_send())
	project files do not have any "Access Paths" preferences (a big
	  problem since many files have the same name).
	programs can not be linked because of missing files
	CFM projects do not have the necessary "main" function

After two days of hacking at the sources, I did eventually get all the
programs to compile, however k5config crashed if 'krb5.ini' wasn't in
the preferences folder and the NCSA Telnet plugin would crash the
computer when Telnet was started.

Please let me know if you know about these issues so that I know how
much info I have to include in a bug report.

Thanks
