Two questions about the API design:
* Whereas the krb5 gss_acquire_cred only fetches existing credentials
from a cache, the krb5 gss_acquire_cred_impersonate_cred actually goes
out and fetches credentials from the KDC, right?
* Under what circumstances would an application need to use the
gss_acquire_cred_impersonate_cred interface, instead of just calling
gss_init_sec_context with the appropriate proxy credential? Is there an
actual reason to provide that API? (And similarly for the corresponding
add_ API, of course.)
