All my MIT Krb5 API docs are at work in a binder somewhere but I don't
recall them being all that spare.  Granted there was little in the way
of big picture text (ie: you need to do these 5 things before you can
accept a connection and verify a principle) but the sample source was
helpful for that.

So long as Heimdal isn't off inventing new APIs I'm happy.  1 API for
Kerberos is enough.
