This was a nice idea, but it didn't work.  The build of krb5-1.5
seems to reconstruct src/include/autoconf.h at least once, right at
the start of the build.  So it ovewrites the above Quick'N'Dirty fix.

As an even Quicker'N'Dirtier fix I altered src/include/autoconf.h.in
to set:

#define USE_DLOPEN 1

as the default:

--- src/include/autoconf.h.in.orig      Sat Jul  1 06:10:18 2006
+++ src/include/autoconf.h.in   Mon Jul 17 15:58:12 2006

 #undef USE_LINKER_FINI_OPTION

and that works great.  I've now got a test krb5-1.5 server built
with shared libraries running on OpenBSD3.9.  Haven't tested it
much, but it will give me ticket-granting tickets.  And that's
always a good sign :-)
