Now I'm not sure exactly what `semi-automated' you're referring to
here.  The kdc does the 524 conversion and there's code (in libkafs,
and called from kauth and afslog) for using that to acquire v4 tickets
and stuffing them into AFS/arla.  I'm using that to get AFS tokens
talking to my heimdal KDC.
