   Cygnus patches that should go into 1.0
   ================================================================
   + v4 rcp -x compatibility support
   + kadmin/dbutil locking trick (and lib/kdb openclose fixes)
   + kadmin/dbutil dumpv4 expiration ("never") fixes
   + kadmin/dbutil loadv4 stashfile, default fixes
   + krb524: fix free_keyblock redundancy
   + lib/kdb/kdb_cpw.c afs keytype fixes
   + dejagnu: set env(TERM) dumb, find ktutil, drain for gss,  rlogin tests.
   + db2: overflow_page fixes, __P redef
   + db2 tests: better alternate dictionary support

Yes to all of these.

   + krshd "plumbing" fixes
   + kdc: better edata error handling, memory management, sam support
   + kdc: v4: ken's multiple-server time skew fixes

Expand, please?

   Cygnus patches that we can send if you want them
   ================================================================
   + ftp ticket forwarding, v4 ticket support
   + telnet configury improvements (appl/telnet using a single configure.in)
   + component packaging (install-foo) rules
   + kadmin/cli x9 and tl_data changes (in support of X9.9 token devices)
   + kdc: NOCACHE changes (big speed improvement, but a potential security
       concern; turns off both rcache and lookaside.)
   + krb524: cmu_seconds support (issue converted tickets with cmu-style time
       stamps for values from 128..191 ticks)

Punt for now, I think...

   + krb5.hin/k5-int.h rearrangement (for windows?)

Expand, please?

   + fast asn1 date encoders and cache support, and non-use of calloc

Maybe?  What do others think?
