I think, from a programming standpoint, I want the core krb5 version
that's in patchlevel.h. That's the thing that changes with the API and
features and whatnot (ignoring any platform patches, which I guess is
not really a safe thing to ignore, given that I just spent 10 hours
wading through the rpm patches for RHEL and getting things building and
installed from latest source, but anyway).
