This probably isn't required anymore.

I'll try and dig something out. It's a long time since I wrote this code, 
and since then it has 'just worked' for us.

It's certainly in Heimdal and MIT. Not sure about VAS. You only really 
need it if you're writing something that accepts incoming GSSAPI 
connections - we use it for a couple of servers which carry out delegated 
actions on behalf of the user.

Nico Williams has an Internet-Draft which defines a different means of 
doing this, which hopefully will become part of some future revison of 
RFC2744 - it's a fairly widely accepted limitation of the current 
GSSAPI.
