In the MIT V5 distribution, is there an application-transparent way to tell the
Kerberos libraries to use a different ticket cache, i.e., something equivalent
to what KRBTKFILE does in V4?

I did some source digging and couldn't find anything.  Did I miss it, or is it
not there?  If the latter, are there any plans to add something like this, and
if so, have the details been codified?

Thanks,
