Without considering the labor involved, it seems to me that it would be a
good idea to change the Kerberos library function names to something alon
the X pattern; that is, functions would have names like KUsefulFunction().
For example, mk_ap_request would become something like KMkApRequest() or
KMakeApRequest().  A scheme like this has less potential for name collisions
with other software, and makes it easier to find the Kerberos changes in
the code.
