I would guess that both TKT_ROOT and krb_get_default_tkt_root are kth-ism.

As as usual I can't apply a patch cleanly from Christopher so here is my
counter proposal:

Then /tickets will work even if it compiled with a mit-krb w/o
krb_get_default_tkt_root() and TKT_ROOT.

It also assumes that the ticket root set to /tickets in krb.extra when you
use kthkrb if you like to live by the umich tradition/religion.
