	   Before kdb5_edit goes away, another mechanism for extracting a
   keytab without changing the key should be provided.  There are enough
   situations when this is useful...

Just for the record, please list some of them.

Note that kadm5_get_principal when invoked *on the server* can
retrieve a principal's keys.  Thus, you could write an keytab
extraction program that runs on the server that does not change keys.
