+Omit extra libraries because their interfaces aren't exposed to applications

+- omit dependent libraries from the krb5-config --libs output, as using
+  shared libraries (no more static libraries) makes them unnecessary and
+  they're not part of the libkrb5 interface (patch by Rex Dieter, #240220)

 * Fri May  4 2007 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com> 1.6-5
 - pull in keyutils as a build requirement to get the "KEYRING:" ccache type,
