Patch to enable runtime loading of GSSAPI libraries

Currently, building the ssh client with kerberos enabled means
dynamically linking against the GSSAPI library. This results in a
somewhat non-portable binary, since it won't run on systems which don't
have this library available.

The attached patch implements runtime loading of the GSSAPI library,
allowing fallback to alternative authentication mechanisms if the
library can't be found.

Diff is against today's CVS.
