I mean.. I had similar thoughts on this..  earlier, but not sure how would
one implement the same.
I mean I do not understand by Merging - in the sense, how would they be
merged and what would be the priority of the keytabs in the merged keytab
file, how would one can use the part of the keytabs in the merged copy ?
