beware  i just checked in the completely new rewritten kerberos dissector
together with asn.1 ber helpers in packet-ber.c

it works well for me an my colleagues that has used the code for the last
week but there are bound to be bugs left
to sort out.


in the future i envision two developments:
1, all other asn.1 pased pdus/protocols will migrate over to use the ber
helpers in packet-ber.c (and get filterable entries)
2, it will be easier to extend kerberos with more intelligence.  I really
want to be able to open the encrypted data and look at the pac structure
given
i can can provide the appropriate keytab file.



As a means towards that goal (2) I think we need to consider adding another
dependency.
Nettle is a low level crypto library unenburdened by export restrictions
that implement all crypto types we are likely to need.
Should we start adding nettle to our list of dependencies?
