[krbdev.mit.edu #2519] 1.3.2 Build problems.

[Sean O'Malley]

It still didn't build. Shouldn't it still compile even if I used
that flag?

I used the wrong flag for what I was -intending-, but the fact remains
it didn't build with that particular flag or do the build scripts have
some sort of mind-reading capabilities? If so, why wouldn't they want
to tell me i am a moron in the configure script before I tried to build
it? like "configure failed! You are being a moron and either you want to
use --flag with the --program-prefix flag or you really want the --prefix
instead. RTFM!"

This is a non-issue for me because of the aforementioned OE. But I thought
I would be nice and point it out.
