I need to use a host key in a keytab (hence keytab) as a user's
long-term key with a hardware token (user interaction).  This is to
implement Matt Crawford's hw-auth draft.  Okay, so technically I don't
need a keytab interface, but there's no way to give the API a raw key
and provide a prompter interface, and that's the real deficiency.
