Is the heimdal function effectively announced and used in the API or

To quote a Heimdal core developer (Love) on this:

"Almost all functions in libroken pollute the namespace, its not every
 good and we are (very very) slowly fixing that problem.
 Thus, its not exported by accident."

All Makefile.in files (but the one in wiretap) seem to be contaminated
with:
    KRB5_CONFIG = @KRB5_CONFIG@
    KRB5_LIBS = @KRB5_LIBS@
However only one actually uses it:
    $ grep 'KRB5_LIBS' epan/Makefile.in
    KRB5_LIBS = @KRB5_LIBS@
    libethereal_la_LIBADD = @INET_ATON_O@ @INET_PTON_O@ @INET_NTOP_O@
dfilter/libdfilter.la ftypes/libftypes.la @KRB5_LIBS@


AC_ETHEREAL_KRB5_CHECK already does:

  LIBS="$LIBS $KRB5_LIBS"

which seems to cause the problems I mentioned.
