        so upgrade plan would be:
        - disable kerberos4 by default
        - import openssl 0.9.7b (or latest), with kerberos-and-ssl stuff
          disabled.  shlib major bump.  kerberos portion would not build
          for a while, i guess?
        - massage kerberos5 portion to work with openssl 0.9.7

        i dunno how to achieve first bullet (MKKERBEROS would disable/enable
        both).
