I think the point is that a client using the SSPI library can operate
wire-compatibly with a server using the GSSSPI library, but that only
happens with the auth type of "gss". When the "sspi" auth type is used,
that signals to a client using the SSPI library to do something
non wire-compatible and that's why the two auth types are used.
