"eh".  I'm not sure I agree with that; at our site, users don't run
aklog directly, something else runs it for them.  I could switch to
another command and I doubt anyone would notice.  I know, not everyone
is in this boat.  But in hindsight, I doubt the Heimdal aklog was worth
it just for consistency's sake (at least it wasn't worth it for me).
It's not like the pooch hasn't been completely screwed regarding
aklog support anyway, regardless of porting it to Heimdal.

Of course, using this logic I could have simply saved myself a lot of
pain and made the Heimdal aklog a shell script which did "exec afslog". :-/
That means I could have double-forked aklog .... which is of course
one of my lifelong dreams.
