Right now, our apps always know they'll get it in the local tree, cvs has its way of looking for krb4 and deciding when to use it, prms has a different way of selecting it, emacs has another different way to do it... Oh, and I would like to see the existing schemes extended to be able to use libkrb4.a &c if krb5 is installed. This shouldn't be hard to code, but deciding what The Right Way is could take a lot of thought. What defaults should be, what configure command-line options should be permitted, what the author of configure.in can specify, etc. Once it's done, and tested, we can send it to the autoconf maintainers. And, of course, emacs, cvs, and prms will give us three good test cases to work with.... ------- End of Forwarded Message ------- End of forwarded message -------
