It took all of five minutes while I was working on something else for 
someone else. It's all about the tools. ;)

Secondly, I haven't seen any MIT kerberos build failures in weeks. I recall 
one failure related to database export in from HDB format to MIT KDB format 
in our old Heimdal code. IIRC the committer fix that. (BTW, we should start 
thinking about decoupling and removing Heimdal from base for 16. This 
summer maybe?)

The DSO error is related to an unclean incremental build which I cannot 
reproduce here. It appears the bug affects all DSO updates, so not 
attributable to MIT.

This is not the first time but lately your hostility toward me has been 
palpable. I don't know what it is or the cause.
