More and more I get annoyed at the /usr/include/kerberosIV
directory. Of all the Kerberos implementations I've dealt with
it seems that these days the 4.4BSD derived systems are the
only ones isolating the Kerberos 4 include files in this
subdirectory.

As a developer this is a minor but annoying pain in the *** in that
it's necessary to special case software configuration scripts to
deal with the non-orthagonal prefixes to the Kerberos include and
lib directories on FreeBSD (and BSD/OS) systems.

I'd like to propose that for 3.0 we follow the rest of the world
and move the Kerberos 4 includes directly into /usr/include. We could
leave a symlink behind to maintain souce compatibility with existing
code that #includes <kerberosIV/foo.h>.
