Honestly I don't like this option.
The option had been meaningless for a long time and I almost forget the
meaning.
Users who want to use gssapi authentication on Windows have used sspi
library.
When libpq on Windows happens to be compiled with GSS and you want to use
the GSS library for gssapi authentication, you can add pqopt option e.g.
;pqopt={gsslib=gssapi}.
