I think I'm missing something here; the MIT KDC is also v4 and v5 at
the same time.  But you still need something like krb524d if you want
to convert a V5 TGT into an AFS token (say, for instance, if you use
Kerberos telnet/ssh and forward your V5 TGT across, or you have a
policy which forbids the use of v4 ticket requests.).  I'm assuming the
Heimdal afslog does _something_ along those lines, right?
