	I just checked an initial cut of krb5 support for moira into the
moira tree on the moira-krb5 branch.  It implements krb5 auth for the
client <-> server connection via a new RPC (mr_krb5_auth), while still
supporting old clients using mr_auth.  The database namespace is
unchanged, and is still krb4; krb5 clients have the principal they're
authenticating as converted to a krb4 style string.

	This also implements krb5 auth for update_server via the
new AUTH_003 protocol option.  This is also backwards compatible (old
dcm/update_tests can talk to new update_servers, and vice versa).

	It all seems to work, but I haven't done enough testing yet.
I'm not sending the code here; check out the branch if you care.

	Don't expect to see this in production anytime soon; probably
not before IAP.
