That's because you need that non-standard functionality to be able to
see what tokens exist.  In other words, with `standard' kerberos
programs there's no way of fetching the tokens.

And as Love already has mentioned, Chris Wing contributed a tokens
programs that doesn't require this that's part of the current sources
and will be included in the next release.

We try not to, but it's hard:

a. we need functionality that's not part of `standard' kerberos
(namely that provided by libkafs)
b. we can't use american kerberos distributions and then it's very
hard to test that everything works with them.  For this we rely on you
and other US-users to provide us with bug reports.  Thanks for
providing them.
c. we're lazy and it's not always clear when we can assume that some
function is part of all kerberos distributions.
