One workaround is to "#define KERBEROS_APPLE_DEPRECATED(x)" (to nothing)
before including krb5.h.

The intent of the deprecation warning is to get you to use the gss_*
routines (not the krb5_* routines), via the GSS Framework.  Existing
software written against the krb5 routines can't easily change, though.
