The one I'm most looking for is simply being able to build with GSSAPI
enabled. I don't foresee any problems between implementations (there could
be of course, but the standard defines the protocol), but I'm sure headers
and libraries could be in different places and have different names.

Actually testing the authentication itself is of course a bonus :-)
I've only tested it against Active Directory, but IIRC Henry has used a
Unix based Kerberos server. But more testing is always good.
