I think this patch should go on top of the Julien's patchset, which is not yet
in. Could we make at least some consensus on the API change at this point?
Chances are that Red Hat will need to fix this prior to the usptream fix. My
proposal is a new easy option CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION that given 1L enables
the old behavior. Any objections? Thanks in advance.
