heimdal 1.2

[Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>]

Hello,

After messing around with autoconf/automake/libtool stuff for ages, I 
eventually got to the point where Heimdal 1.2 started compiling.

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/brian/tmp/debian/mine/heimdal/heimdal-1.2/lib/sl'

Making all in wind

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/brian/tmp/debian/mine/heimdal/heimdal-1.2/lib/wind'

I was going to solve this problem by adding a dependency on python,  
which would fix the error.  Then I noticed what the python script was doing.

In case you haven't worked out out yet, here is a hint: Heimdal is in 
main, but RFCs are not.

Any ideas?

I would rather not have to make significant changes to the upstream 
tar.gz file.

Is it OK if I upload what I have got so far to Debian experimental? If 
so I will probably do so tomorrow when I get the rest compiling. Yuck. 
Looks like the soname for libkrb5-24-heimdal has been increased to 25 :-(.

Thanks.
