Good question.  I'm personally only interested in K5, but since both are
included in the portage tree, I figured I might as well deal with both at
the same time.  The more I get into it though, the more I realize that 
testing it here is going to be a major pain, so I'll probably just leave 
the kerberos4 stuff for someone that needs it.

The skey stuff is simply to satisfy my own curiousity.

I saw both forms used in various ebuilds and wasn't sure if there was a 
standard or not, so I just opted for the more legible of the two.

Enabling k4 and k5 in sasl works just fine here: since I don't have k4 
installed, the configure script automatically disabled it.  Oops. ;-)
Yet another reason to leave the k4 stuff for someone who needs it.

Good point.  I think I still need the virtual depend for kerberos5 since 
it can come from either the heimdal or krb5 packages, but there's no
reason to create 2 virtual packages for k4 and k5.

So I'm down to virtual/kerberos and the USE flag 'kerberos5'.

Thanks for the feedback!
