i believe Heimdal does provide an NTLM mechanism (libgssapi_ntlm) and
also an SPNEGO mechanism which can presumably use either Kerberos or
NTLM, but as Heimdal is planned to be removed anyway, i'm not sure this
is a reason to keep the knob around just in case someone decides to add
those back later.
