It doesn't. But it's a pretty close match; it looks like it was ported
directly from the libpq code. libpq actually uses the same code path
for SSPI and GSSAPI on Windows, with a boolean to switch a few things
between the two. I've been trying to duplicate those changes in
Npgsql.

I think I'm getting closer though. I have psql on Windows successfully
authenticating, so I can't be too far off.

I've been trying to enable the KRB5_TRACE environment variable in the
Postgres child processes, but I can't seem to make it stick. That
would (should!) provide some sort of help.
