jlam 80b2de66dd Import MIT Kerberos 5 as security/mit-krb5. This package is partly based
on the wip/mit-krb5 package by Jeremy Reed, but heavily modified by me to
libtoolize the build.

Kerberos V5 is an authentication system developed at MIT. It is a network
authentication protocol designed to provide strong authentication for
client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. (Kerberos
5 is discussed in RFC 1510.)

This package provides Kerberos and GSSAPI (Generic Security Services
Application Programming Interface) development headers and libraries.
It also includes Kerberos ticket and principal tools, and Kerberized
r-services, telnet and ftp services.
