What you've described is an interesting hack, but it completely goes
against the purpose of the krb425 library --- again, the libkrb425
library allows a program which uses the krb4 API to access the krb5
protocol. Your modification will ****break**** the libkrb425 library
for its intended purpose.
Hence, do not expect your patches to be included in the mainline
distribution any time soon.
Unfortunately, people seem extremely prone to abuse the krb425 library;
it is likely that once we get the krb4 library code integrated into the
V5 tree, we will be dropping the krb425 library, since most of the time
you really don't want to be using it anyway.
