libkadm5clnt still doesn't have a public API so far as I know, which is
one of the reasons why I was asking. Because the API is private and no
header files are available for it, I'm not sure how rigorous the shared
library versioning is between releases for packages that use the internal
interface. MIT generally reserves the right to break use of any symbol
that's not exported and documented in the public API.
