If you actually collected the local efforts into a central location, I
think it would patch some of those holes.  For example, we have one
version of a Kerberos-based web authentication system, are working on a
new version, and there are various other similar things out there.  And we
have a working xlock with Kerberos v4 based authentication and AFS support
that we'll be migrating to Kerberos v5 (in the form of patches to
xlockmore).
