FYI.. The heimdal krb5 in /usr/src auto-detects these and uses them,
as do a couple of random ports.  These binaries will no longer run on
kernel.old, or 9.x.

This is probably worth making a warning about because it's been a
while since installworld/reboot/installkernel discipline has been
required and folks have probably got lazy.  Heck, you have been able
to do an installworld from 9.x -> 10.x for a while without requiring a
reboot.  (I know, because I've developed this bad habit)
