The original kinit_hostprincipal had `ccachedir` argument, the new one 
has `ccache_name`. But the new code still prepends FILE ccache type:

old: ccache_file = 'FILE:%s/ccache' % ccachedir
new: ccache_file = 'FILE:%s' % ccache_name

I would remove the line because I understand the use of 'ccache_name' 
name as equivalent of KRB5CCNAME and therefore I would expect that the 
value of this argument would be used to set the environment variable 
WITHOUT any modification. And mainly, user is limited only to FILE 
ccache type.

I also wonder if
   os.environ['KRB5CCNAME'] = ccache_file
has to be set when ccache is defined by krbV call:
    ccache =  krbV.CCache(name=ccache_file, ...

krbV snipped doesn't use it so maybe we can remove it.
