I apologize for this tangential issue, but somebody has expressed 
concern that a Dynamic Link Library type mechanism for the GSS APIs (or 
DLLs in general) are not suitable because there is not wide support on 
many Unix systems.  This is the first time I have heard this concern 
and I wanted to make sure we're not going down a road of woe and despair.

Could somebody with experience on the interesting Unix platforms 
comment on this concern?

Thanx!

John
