[PATCH] Use krb5-config if avaialable for Kerberos parameters

[David Leonard]

Well, that patch won't work with our krb5-config You'll get back an
empty string, since --path is not understood. :(

That makes me wonder why the need to deduce KRB5ROOT anyway?
How about logic like this, instead:

	--with-kerberos5=/some/path
	     * error unless /some/path/bin/krb5-config exists
	     * use `/some/path/bin/krb5-config --cflags` etc
	--with-kerberos5=yes
	     * error unless krb5-config found in $PATH
	     * use `krb5-config --cflags` etc

plus, perhaps:

	--with-kerberos5=auto
	     * if krb5-config found in $PATH
	           use `krb5-config --cflags` etc
