For some background to where we are going, please check out this page:

I plan to document all this stuff in the coming weeks. But the big
reveal is a new preauth mech: https://github.com/npmccallum/krb5-pake

All the caveats apply: this is completely insecure and will steal your
passwords. Don't use it anywhere but a test setup.

You will also need a patch to enable support for
KDC_ERR_MORE_PREAUTH_DATA_REQUIRED:
https://github.com/krb5/krb5/pull/245

Comments/reviews welcome.
