To the extent that keeping krb5 around implies a much lower burden on
GSSAPI support under Windows, I disagree... If we need the MIT
headers/libraries around to support krb5 anyway then I don't feel the
fact that you can do SSPI w/o those headers/libraries to be a case for
not supporting GSSAPI on Windows, we need them anyway...

Thanks,

Stephen
