Translation: Derrick will piss and moan about it for a few years, but
eventually stop ... or you will learn to ignore it, I can't really
tell the difference anymore :-)

I am not particularly in love with the idea of exec'ing translate_et just
to translate errors for asetkey ... the people who run that SHOULD be able
to just run translate_et for themselves (although somehow that doesn't
seem to be the case).  If we can provide a useful error we should try
(or at least issue a message saying "run translate_et to determine the
error").  That would argue toward linking against the Kerberos com_err
library, though.
