We have an extra repository where we maintain the patches on top
of the heimdal master tree.

http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=lorikeet-heimdal.git;a=summary

From time to time we import a new snapshot, which will overwrite
source4/heimdal/ completely.

Andrew please push your change to the lorikeet-heimdal master branch,
so that it doesn't get reverted by the next import.
