At the moment it's not being planned.  Heimdal's admin protocol was
different enough from the one used with MIT's implementation (in 0.4e
at least) that they don't appear to mix (at least my trivial test
didn't work), and AFAICT the slave propagation setup is different
enough that mixing servers could become a problem.

There's quite a bit of good stuff in there, though.  The protocol code
is generated using an ASN.1 compiler, which should make bugs easier to
fix if they turn up, and using libcrypto from OpenSSL for the crypto
sidesteps problems with linking apps with both libdes425 and libcrypto.
I'm interested in seeing where it goes.
