Compiling arla 0.31+ with MIT KRB5

Hello all,

I notice that as of version 0.31, arla does not detect libk5crypto on my
system.  I am using the Kerberos packages included in RedHat 6.2, which 
are based on MIT Kerberos5 v1.1.1.  These packages install everything in
/usr/kerberos.

The problem is that configure checks for k5crypto, but doesn't include the
path that I specified by --with-krb5.  If I configure with

   ./configure --with-krbafs=/usr/kerberos --with-krb5=/usr/kerberos

the following lines appear in config.log:

configure:3579: checking for krb5_encrypt_data in -lk5crypto
configure:3598: gcc -o conftest -g  -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs   conftest.c -lk5crypto   1>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lk5crypto: No such file or directory


Shouldn't the check for k5crypto use the --with-krb5 path?  If not, what
is the appropriate way to tell configure where libk5crypto is installed?

TIA,
