     It???s preferable to use GNU GSS rather than mit-krb5 if that???s possible,
     which maybe it isn???t.

I don't think it is possible, for the simple reason that this is not what 
GSS is intended to do.  If however it transpires that GNU GSS does somehow
eventually do it, the  we can change it then.
