It would be really lovely if, rather than having to do string composition
myself inside the module, the caller would provide a krb5_context and let
me just call krb5_set_error_message to set the error message from the
plugin.
I realize this doesn't help with localization, but it would make life much
less painful for plugin authors in the current world where localization
doesn't work anyway, and maybe in the long run we could localize
krb5_set_error_message and allow that interface to continue to be used.
