(Get the code!)
Thanks for review! Looks good to me.
Regarding krb5 mechglue vs gssglue. Indeed there is a lot of code similarities here, and the code share similar origins. I don't know all of the history around this, and I don't know all features of the mechglue that is part of MIT Kerberos V. My simple take is this: gssglue offers similar functionality as mechglue but ALSO offers independence from MIT Kerberos V. The mechglue stuff in MIT Kerberos links to libkrb5 which defeats one of the main goals of libgssglue: the ability to decouple libkrb5 linkage from the application. I hope this answers the question.
