In the openafs aklog case, the lib gets included anyway since libkrb5
depends on it. I guess this would break static linking though.

I suppose the real bug here is Suse 9 heimdal-devel doesn't depend on
openssl-devel.

As for openafs.. is there an easy way to have autoconf/configure make
sure each lib in 'KRB5LIBS' actually exists, and print a reasonable
error message? Right now you don't know until you get to building aklog.

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
