All,

for properly introducing Nettle functionality (as in the recently
discussed kerberos nettle patch), we'd also need an appropriate
configure test that

- supports "--with-nettle"
- sets NETTLE_LIBS, NETTLE_CFLAGS and HAVE_NETTLE
- tests some of md5_init/des3_set_key/des_fix_parity/cbc_decrypt
  functionality in "-lnettle"
At some point we should also add a callback to re-read the keytab/service key file when the preference changes. 


Gerald, are you already working on this? Otherwise, any takers?
I can probably add the MD5 and DES3 error checking in the next few days. In the meantime, I've checked in the Kerberos/PacketCable/Nettle patch along with your changes. It's disabled by default. A pre-compiled libnettle for Windows is available at

if anyone needs it.
