It should be possible to improve the parsing in aclocal/kerberos5.m4 to handle this situation. Is that what you are looking for? In hindsight, it probably makes more sense to use the version number in aclocal/kerberos5.m4 to set feature-specific definitions rather than continue to pass along the parsed version number. (The version number is currently used to determine which method to use to tell the Kerberos library where to find the credentials.) K.C.
