[RFC][PATCH] krb5 => libverto main loop

[Ezra Peisach]

Centos 5 - which is close to rhel5...

libevent 1.4 (too old)
no libev
glib 2.1.16, 2.12 with updates

I do not know if glib is universally available on all platforms 
supported... Some of the new glib releases assume a recent linux 
kernel.  They have not been good at maintaining compatibility with 
non-bleeding edge.

I think a minimal list of supported platforms will be required - so as 
to define what the requirements are.
Does Solaris ship with glib? Does the various BSD flavors?  Do we know 
what "old" O/S are out there that
people will still need to compile kerberos on?  Will there be a need to 
enable a compile option - that does
not compile a kdc? (i.e. a client only build?)

The nice thing about kerberos now is that it builds on platforms with 
minimal support.  The support libraries (com_err, ss) are bundled with 
it - so you do not need to add anything else. You probably need perl, 
shell, make and a C compiler...
