Silly question of the day: Why does gss_release_cred take a
(gss_cred_id_t *) type? Why can't it be just of type gss_cred_id_t?
gss_cred_id_t is typedef'ed to be a pointer to a structure --- so we are
currently passing a pointer to a pointer to a structure to a freeing
routine, which seems to be unneccessarily complicated. Or am I missing
something?
