There have been several bug reports about the documentation suggesting
that both krb5.conf and kdc.conf can point to each other.  Obviously,
this is impossible.

How is it supposed to be?  Which file, if either, can have a profile
relation that specifies the location of the other file?  What stanza
does the relation occur in?

As a post-1.0 issue, the distinction between krb5.conf and kdc.conf,
and the structure of kdc.conf, is very confusing and possibly wrong,
and needs to be rethought.
