I have an implementation of FAST TGS requests that was used during
interop testing.  I believe that the KDC on the trunk supports FAST
TGS correctly; it works against my implementation and against another
vendor's implementation.

I have not checked in the FAST TGS client side changes for two
reasons.  First, as currently written, it breaks interop with non-FAST
KDCs.  Secondly, there was some discussion of when we want to try FAST
with the TGS.  I think it would be fine to experiment with that for
the 1.8 release, but I felt that it was very late in the 1.7 process
to make that decision.

My implementation is not currently public.
