My concern was not having to link against a Kerberos-related library;
my real concern was having to link against an AFS library.  One of the
giant problems I have with aklog is the fact that there are two com_err
libraries (the AFS one and the Kerberos one), and you have to do all
these gyrations since you can't link against both.  That's why a lot of
the time you only get AFS error messages or Kerberos error messages;
rarely do you get both in a single aklog.  If libkopenafs didn't
require the AFS com_err library, that would be a huge win.

No, the functions I'm concerned about all begin with pr_.
