Separate library packages.  If it's just the -devel that's an issue, 
placing Heimdal's headers in a subdirectory that samba4 can access by 
using a -I/usr/include/heimdal, for instance, would work.

Are Samba3 and Samba4 commandline compatible for these?  If so it's 
possible that alternatives is what we want to use here.  These are the 
criteria:

1) command line compatible
2) app that the sysadmin should deal with, not end users.
