I've been finding that I'd like to make some of the functionality in programs
that I write or modify for our site to be configurable from the standard
Kerberos profile. However, if a program wants to use the profile functions
they have to include "k5-int.h" to get the prototype for the krb5_context
so you can get the proper arguments to the profile_* functions.
If you include "k5-int.h", you have to have a copy of the build tree around,
and sometimes that's a real pain.
If the Kerberos team could please consider making the profile functions usable
from regular Kerberos programs _without_ including k5-int.h, I think everyone
would benefit.
