Well, now we're getting into value judgements about which gssapi
versions are still worth supporting.  Are you really willing to toss
overboard all versions that don't support gss_store_cred_into?  Or
should credential delegation be viewed as an incremental feature that
we can support or not?

TBH, committing things with significant portability hazards ten hours
before feature freeze is not high on my list of good development
practices.
