It is a standard Fedora Core 2 installation location - see below. Sure I could 
have passed that, or hacked my path, or whatever. Sure I could have hand 
munged the Makefiles and config.h to work anyway. However I do want to use 
kerberos, but I don't want to change my $PATH just because my packager got it 
a bit abnormal. I just thought it was nicer if Ethereal could do it for me 
(now and in the future), and it isn't that big a change. 

Perhaps if you could explain the problem with the patch, I could address it?
