+1 for renaming --- anybody who's building with "krb5" and expecting to, you know, actually *get* krb5 would probably rather find out about this change at build time instead of down the road a ways.
A compromise position would be to introduce a gss parameter while leaving krb5 in place as a deprecated (perhaps undocumented?) synonym for it. But I think that's basically confusing.
Yeah, I'm not sure it actually helps much.
Andrew - is this going to cause any issues wrt the buildfarm, by any chance?
