I don't think it can be used as a general tool for this purpose, but it
does produce such a ccache as a side effect of its regular function.

For example, if I'm logged in with tickets as ghudson@ATHENA.MIT.EDU and
I ksu to root by entering the password for ghudson/root@ATHENA.MIT.EDU,
I wind up with a new ccache containing all of my old tickets (for client
principal ghudson) plus a TGT and host service ticket for client
principal ghudson/root.
