Likewise, is there any move to at least allow case insensitivity in
principal names or keytab entries?  I know the Samba patch to allow this
(in the member server, presumably for an AD KDC) is pretty ugly...

(We normally join the domain and get a password, so take any incoming
name, but for some reason we also have AD sites which refuse to give
machine trust accounts to their unix servers, so hand out keytabs).
