The problem is that in both namespaces, libgssapi is a confusing name
for what is really just glue between the kernel and userspace, and not a
gssapi implementation.

Particularly when (in Fedora) libgssapi_krb5 is the mechglue library
provided by the MIT krb5 package, and elsewhere libgssapi is a name much
more traditionally associated (such as in Heimdal Kerberos) with real
GSSAPI implementations.
