Relying on external packages violates a constraint we've been working
under for a while, but:

this should be fixable; it's been fixed for all the other platforms which
had similar problems

I haven't looked in a while but last I did the types may have been
different but the net result was the same. Has something changed?

I have ADM building against AFS, Heimdal, OpenSSL, SASL and libcyrus, and
yes, all being linked into one binary. I did need to explore this, and
honestly I don't remember what the answer was.
