Suggested ToDo

[Henry B. Hotz]

Per my earlier thread it appears that there isn't any worthwhile SASL  
support on the Windows platform.  However there is support for SSPI,  
which can be made to behave like GSSAPI.  There are published, tested  
examples of how to do this.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile for someone to write an alternate version  
of the GSSAPI mechanism plug-in that works on Windows without the  
need to install a Kerberos distribution?

Seems to me that if someone cares about wide adoption of the SASL  
standard then we need a robust implementation on Windows that's easy  
to build/install.
