Ground rules for coding krb5

This message details some "ground rules" on coding the Kerberos v5
library.

1) use ANSI C, but #ifdef'ed on __STDC__ so that old compilers can still
grok it; a prototype macro is defined in <krb5/base-defs.h>

2) start new files with /mit/krb5/src/prototype/prototype.{c,h}, be sure
to replace the <<< >>> stuff with appropriate descriptions.  Use the
filename for the "include blocker" on .h files.

3) max. of 12 character file names (so that RCS files still fit on
broken filesystems)

Replies to this note will establish further conventions.
