No idea about the deprecatedness, but our Kerberos code does compile with
the Kerberos V shipped in Red Hat 7.0 (MIT, I think), and the Kerberos IV
code compiled successfully with KTH Kerberos last time I checked.
However, most of the three people that ever mentioned anything detailed
about the Kerberos support in PostgreSQL had the sound of "fundementally
flawed", "totally insecure", etc.
