   I don't have a lot of time, but I have some interest in seeing this
   done.  I think that we should drop all Kerberos 4 code.  Nobody
   should care about Kerberos 4 anymore since it is insecure (based on
   DES).  The Kerberos V5 stuff in InetUtils worked fine both with
   MIT/Heimdal/Shishi not so long ago, but we could certainly improve
   documentation so that it becomes easier to setup and test.

   However, I agree that we should postpone this for the next release.
   I think we should get a new release out soon, it was too long ago
   since the last release, and maybe even try to speed up the process
   so that we have more frequent releases.

Yeah, we did want to release more often.  Been over a year now.
