But to make K5 useful for applications we also need an integrated SASL
library. Such a library would let us support GSSAPI for sendmail (and
more importantly, submit) and ftpd out-of-the-box. And from a security
standpoint I'd rather have things in ports link against our own SASL
than have the ports import their own code (which inevitably use their
own private credentials database instead of the OS facilities).
