I've successfully used Nalin's plugin code (w/o use of k5-int.h in our
plugin) for both client and KDC.  (not all functionality there yet)

My next step is to try pulling our pkinit-specific asn.1 stuff out of
libkrb5 and putting it in the plug-in code, using only the exported
asn1 functionality from libkrb5.  Does this sound reasonable?
Necessary?
