If the des_ api is replaced in openssl, kerberos 4 will break since its API
depend on the des_ api. Not that that will be a bad thing to get rid of
Kerberos 4.

My experince is that the compat glue for the old api might have been an
nice idea, but it doesn't work in really, its to fragile.

Love

PS I've update heimdal locally to the DES_ api, quite a simple change. but
wont be able to commit to heimdal until I've updated rest of heimdals
build structure.
