Fair enough ...

This is kinda too bad. Is there anything we can do about this? I'm sure
some U.S. folks would like to get /usr/include/kerberosIV and the domestic
libtelnet et al. from unbundling a "secr.tar.gz" file ...

Yup. Quick n' dirty:

Yup again:

One thing I just noticed: the comp.tar.gz tarball doesn't contain a copy of
<machine/conf.h> (which is a copy of /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/include/conf.h).
I did a comparison between the include tree built from comp.tar.gz and my own,
and (in addition to the missing ./usr/include/kerberosIV) I had noticed
Only in /usr/include/machine: conf.h
Since my "make build" installed this at some point, I was curious as to why
it's not in the comp.tar.gz tarball. (Doesn't seem like a big deal, but
when you see a singularity like that ... )
