7.1.3 fails to configure with kerberos on NetBSD/macppc 1.5.2

Configure is looking for krb5_encrypt in libcrypt.  It's there, but
it's in /usr/lib/libkrb5.*.  How do I make it look there?

I can't just ln -s libkrb5 libcrypt because the latter already exists
and contains the DES stuff.  NetBSD 1.5.x switched from the MIT code
to the kth.se Heimdal code.  For those of us who care about AFS this
is a big win.  In fact just about every kerberos implementation
except MIT's is AFS compatible (including all Mac implementations
except the MIT code in MacOS X).  Grrr.

Heimdal support is being worked on, but it won't be in 7.2.  Attached is a
patch which represents the work so far.  It might work for you, since you
have NetBSD 1.5 where they supposedly fixed the linker.
