I thought about that, but I don't want to add extra gucs without a good
reason. You'd typically not have very many different lines in pg_hba for
this, and just duplicating the parameter there would be ok I think.

I'd rather move more of the krb parameters to be *just* in pg_hba.conf,
but for now I left those in postgresql.conf as fallbacks..
