Hi all,

there's currently a name clash for base64_decode() in Ethereal (CVS)
vs. latest Heimdal 0.6.2:

Ethereal CVS:
util.c: size_t base64_decode(char *s)

Heimdal 0.6.2:
lib/roken/base64.c: int base64_decode(const char *str, void *data)

This (obviously) causes linker errors when building libethereal.so
while using --with-krb5 (which brings in Heimdal).

FWIW, util.c's base64_decode seems to be used only rarely
(packet-http.c).

Somewhat related: "--with-krb5" causes the Heimdal libs to be
(unnecessarily) linked into libdfilter and libftypes. This also
breaks building libethereal.so ("multiple definition of ..."),
but can be fixed easily by trimming "LIBS=" in the corresponding
Makefiles.
