I don't want to provide any bearing on whether to rename or not as a) I don't believe that is the issue at hand here and b) I'm not familiar with this area of code, but I just wanted to add that:

GSSAPI is typically the registered [SASL mechanism](http://www.iana.org/assignments/sasl-mechanisms/sasl-mechanisms.xhtml) name for [Kerberos V5](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4752) whilst GSS-API refers to the API for implementing security technologies such as Kerberos and SPKM.

I hope this helps clarify things a little ;-)

** [bugs:#1321] Cannot link against GSS-API in HP-UX**
**Status:** open

I've tried to compile curl 7.34.0 with GSS-API support on HP-UX 11.31 and it fails to link against gssapi.so.
The issue is with HP-UX that is comes with HP flavor of MIT Kerberos. This means that there is no krb5-config nor the lis is called gssapi.so.
It looks like this:
    ll /usr/lib/hpux32/libgss*
    -r-xr-xr-x   1 bin        bin         290724 Nov 12  2010 /usr/lib/hpux32/libgss.so
    lr-xr-xr-x   1 bin        bin             23 Nov 20 14:28 /usr/lib/hpux32/libgssapi_krb5.so -> ./gss/libgssapi_krb5.so
I have changed LIBS="-lgss $LIBS" and I was able to link and use the curl binary. We simply need another case for HP-UX in "elif test -z "$GSSAPI_LIB_DIR"; then" and the closing "else" block in configure.ac.
I patch can be tested and approved.
