Hi,

Two alternative ways have been suggested (see Gentoo bug mentioned
above) to make Emacs compile also with Heimdal:

   1. Honza Macháček has pointed out that there exists the
      following patch from T2, which uses "e_data" instead of "text":
      
<http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/branches/7.0/package/security/heimdal/emacs-pop.diff>

   2. The patch (by myself) attached to this message, which adds an
      autoconf test, in order to determine if the struct contains a
      "text" or "e_text" member. This compiles and links against
      MIT Kerberos or against Heimdal.
