Re: Preliminary GSSAPI Patches

These patches are updated as discussed to remove the incomplete
feature.  Unfortunately I have a wedding to go to this weekend and
won't get them tested until next week.  Will post when I've done so.

Just to cover the legal bases:  I don't consider these changes to be
significant enough to require the involvement of the JPL clearance
process.  JPL has already ruled that they do not fall afoul of any
ITAR restrictions.

I am not imposing any license restrictions myself either, but some
credit in the release notes, or wherever, would be appreciated.
