Unfortunately while heimdal provides option to run the kdc as a library 
(inside the samba binary) and has (developed by samba devs (see 
lorikeet-heimdal)) an ldb backend mit krb5 lacks both. Until it will 
catch up (redhat people are working on this) they can't be supported 
with an equal feature matrix (no support for active directory dc with mit).
