If krb5_init_context_profile() actually did what it said, rather than 
creating a new profile based on the embedded profile path, it would be 
easy (profile_init_path(), change the KDC settings in the profile, pass 
it to krb5_init_context_profile()). As is you have to manipulate 
internal-only krb5 context struct data to override anything.

There was a thread a while ago discussing fixing this API mistake - did 
it ever go anywhere?
