 In the recent revision, r35247, heimdal was installed into its own
 directory[[BR]]
 because "no other ports depend on it."[[BR]]
 At least two ports inadvertently depends on it because it was found in the
 configure phase[[BR]]
 (as reported in #14697 and #12805).[[BR]]

 If the reason for the change was to avoid conflict with the system
 kerberos, doesn't this conflict with[[BR]]
 MacPorts policy of using its own libraries
 (http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/FAQ#WhyisMacPortsusingitsownlibraries)?

 Since I only use heimdal as part of other ports, my interest is more or
 less academic, but if, as indicated, it is[[BR]]
 "much nicer than the included MIT kerberos," shouldn't it be returned to
 the central location so that other ports[[BR]]
 can more easily use it?
