Having two sets of identical packages just built with different
configuration options is a nightmare from an installation point of
view.  And also quite confusing for the users.  

Plus, although *adding* Kerberos support doesn't take much space,
duplicating everything that would use Kerberos is a lot more space (ie,
having two copies of all of the packages that link against Kerberos;
having two copies of evolution would take quite a bit of space :)
