I had a look at gssapi.el - I think that file only handles the :stream
part of gssapi. Right? Doesn't look to hard to hack on that file,
except that Debians gsasl in Jessie doesn't handle gssapi due to bug
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776847
I'll have a look at backporting the newer gsasl package.
