This issue is based on how you interpret the gssapi c bindings spec.
Ted chooses to take the spec literally, and refuses to change
anything. I chose to insert const's where appropriate. These const's
in the function (but not constant) declarations were in the OV code,
but removed by MIT at some point.
IMHO, the thing to do is fix the gssapi function prototypes, and make
sure const is allowed in appropriate places in the next c bindings
I-D.
