Nice job, everyone!  The final issues that we need to work on (or decide
to punt) are:

	* make check blowing out on NetBSD and OSF/1 in tests/dejagnu
		problem appears to be related to KRB5_KTNAME set to
		value in src/kadmin/testing?!?
		
		If this were only one OS were it was failing, I'd be
		worrying less.  Given that it's too, it makes me a bit
		nervous that we don't even understand *why* it's
		happening.

	* Build of kadmind (with static libraries only) fails on NetBSD
		unless you specify your own resolver library.  

		Given that it's only one OS, and we hvae a work-around,
		and it doesn't matter if we're using shared libraries,
		it seems like we shouldn't half to worry about it.

	* make install blows out for NetBSD

		This is mentioned in the README file, with a pointer to
		the build notes, but there doesn't seem to be anything
		in build.texinfo, nor was a PR opened on this.  Que pasa?

	* Update the README file.  This should be easy, once we decide
		on the disposition of the above three items.

Does anyone have any comments, especially for the first and third items?

Are there any other issues which we need to worry about?
