This patch implements the SASL_GSS_CREDS property, which was defined in sasl.h 
back in 2005.

Applications need this functionality to make use of Kerberos Services4User 
features.

Setting the credential in the SASL client will allow it to use an S4U2Proxy 
credential, among other things.

Additional patches will still be needed to allow a SASL server to take 
advantage of this feature, as mentioned in my previous email. But this is a 
small first step just to get the ball rolling.
