That is a good question.. I think we will try to make our krb5-config 
emit '(Heimdal)' as part of the version string.
Or, perhaps you could provide a switch to Makefile.PL that would 
override the heimdal detection.

However, it seems to me that the package currently assumes the 
extensions are there, falling back to vanilla gssapi *only* if the word 
Heimdal is detected.. Perhaps the logic should be reversed; i.e. build 
conservatively, unless the extensions are detected? By extensions I mean 
the deprecated/non-standard GSSAPI functions like oid_to_str.
