I have to ask why you're proposing adding proprietary extensions to the 
GSS-API involving structures and functions with gss_* names.  It seems like 
this is a suitable subject for standardization, and while you may not be 
interested in going down that route, using gss_* names without doing so 
seems like an exceptionally poor choice.
