On most UNIX platforms, the default profile path (DEFAULT_PROFILE_PATH in osconf.h) has the system-wide version (/etc/krb5.conf) ahead of the installation-specific one (@SYSCONFDIR/krb5.conf). Since we don't install this config file, any krb5.conf found in $sysconfdir is going to have to have been supplied by the sysadmin, or whoever installed the executables. So, shouldn't we check for the installation-specific one first, ahead of the one shared by all installations? Granted, it'll be a wee bit slower in the normal case since we'd stat the non-existent file before seeing that /etc/krb5.conf hasn't changed since the last time we looked, but I don't think it'd be a big deal.
