Chris is also pretty allergic to layers and indirection in his software 
unless they're absolutely necessary, so he's quite happy that he can 
talk directly to kerberos, since he's not going to swap out the security 
layer or anything, so GSSAPI would just be adding overhead (conceptual, 
if not computational) for me.
