Please define the purpose of the KRB5_KDC_SUPPORT_DESMD5 attribute.  I
couldn't quite figure it out; here's what I wrote in kdb.tex:

>> \item[KRB5_KDB_SUPPORT_DESMD5] An AS_REQ for a principal with this bit
>> set and an encrytion type of ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_CRC causes the encryption
>> type ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_MD5 to be used instead.  XXX Why set this bit
>> instead of just changing the service principal's enctype?
