Does this include the GSSAPI key exchange, or only userauth?  Does it
work only with SSPI, or can it also use a GSSAPI library if present

I have a lot of Kerberos experience and administrate a multi-realm
installation include Unix and Windows hosts, currently using Quest
PuTTY; I'd by happy to test and advise.  :) Are the lacunae documented
