I'm wondering if it might be a better idea to split kerberos into
"core" and "contrib" sections, with most applications in "contrib". This
is the model the X11 distribution follows. Rather than compile everything
from the top level, just compile "core", and permit users to compile
applications in "contrib" separately. This lets you get away with not
having to port and test every application on every platform. In fact,
you can even distribute "core" and "contrib" separately, as the X consortium
does.
Regards,
John
