Hi,

I've been working on a patch for GSSAPI (Kerberos) support.  It seems to
work pretty well for authentication (I've tested it with Evolution,
fetchmail, and mutt).  I have also been working on implementing
integrity/confidentiality protection.  Unfortunately not many clients
support this - the only one I've found really is mutt, which seems to
disconnect from the server for some unknown reason not long after a
Kerberos-secured conversation.  I'm still trying to track that down.

But anyways the patch is far along enough that I think it's worthy of
review and testing.

Some todo items:

0) Track down bug preventing mutt from working
1) Audit integrity proxy a bit more
2) Make sure we're handling mechanisms other than Kerberos
3) Test with more clients
