Well, there is something concrete to talk about, namely that it would be
occasionally useful if one could install both krb5-user and
heimdal-clients on the same system.

That would mean using alternatives for all of kdestroy, kinit, klist,
kpasswd, ksu, kadmin, and ktutil, as well as their man pages.  Doable,
although that's a lot of alternatives.  My guess is that Heimdal and MIT
should use the same priorities for all the programs except ksu, where the
MIT version is setuid root and probably should be preferred.

Sam, what do you think of this idea?  I can talk to the Heimdal maintainer
float the idea if you think it's a valid one.
