[PATCH] Make the test_profile able to take multiple files

[Chris Hecker]

Having just learned this GitHub pull request thing, this page was very
helpful:

https://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Maintaining_a_github_fork

The one thing to note is where they use "mangos" make sure you use a name
that makes sense for your patch, like test-multi or whatever.  I'm going to
edit the page to be more clear about that when I get a chance.
