   Kerberos 5 beta 2 depends on library routines (krb_create_ticket,
   create_ciph) only found in the Kerberos 4 release:

This is because the following is defined in config/site.def:

#define Krb4KDCCompat /* turn this on if you want the KDC to provide v4
                         tickets from a v5 database */

If you take this out, it should no longer depend on the Kerberos V4
release.  It was probably a mistake to have released Kerberos V5 with
this option enabled; I should have commented it out before releasing it.
