The preprocessor chicken-scratch could be contained a bit better, but
really, it's factored reasonably well.  The problem is the inherent
complexity of:

  * Sharing code between KDC and kadmind
  * TCP, UDP, and (for kadmind) RPC
  * IPv4 and IPv6
  * pktinfo or separate per-interface UDP listeners (frequently pktinfo
for IPv6 and per-interface listeners for IPv4)
  * The non-portability of iterating over network interface addresses
  * The non-portability of listening for routing socket updates

And then on the KDC side, separate port specifications per realm.
