Heimdal, kerberos, and libcom_err.1.dylib

After I did a sync and upgrade outdated today a number of things, 
including (unfortunately) svn, stopped working with errors like

mta at fitzrovia:607svn
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libcom_err.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/svn
  Reason: image not found

Looking at the list archive, it appears that libcom_err.1.dylib once 
was provided by the heimdal port but it seems that when this port got 
upgraded this file got deleted.  The only port that requires heimdal 
seems to be gnome-vfs, but if you remove the dependency on heimdal (and 
uninstall heimdal) gnome-vfs is quite happy to use the Kerberos support 
that is part of 10.4.  I solved my problem by removing the heimdal port 
and rebuilding gnome-vfs and subversion.  So far things seem to be 
working fine.  Perhaps the heimdal dependency should be removed from 
gnome-vfs since it seems to cause more trouble than it's worth.
