Actually, I'm wondering why we directly include com_err.h at all.  At
least in the version of <krb5.h> I have here, that file is included by
krb5.h; so both backend/libpq/auth.c and interfaces/libpq/fe-auth.c
compile just fine with #include <com_err.h> diked out.  I suspect that
our problems in this area all stem from trying to include something
we are not supposed to include to begin with.

It's possible that com_err.h was considered an exported file in old
krb5 releases but no longer is.  So perhaps what we should do is make
the C code read
        #ifdef HAVE_COM_ERR_H
        #include <com_err.h>
        #endif
and adjust configure to generate that symbol, but not require the header
to be found.

Comments?
