We don't have an interrogation mechanism and the runtime behavior is to
mostly indistinguishable, but on Linux or similar you can use OS
mechanisms.  ldd on libk5crypto.so.3.1 should show a dependency on
libcrypto, nm should show dependencies on EVP functions, and sotruss on
kinit or kvno should show calls into libcrypto.
