I do not know anything about K5 api, so I can't change the code to use right interface. I can compare headers from both kerberoses and make some hacks to change names of 2 fields. This is not a long term solution.

This is most difficult problem. Segfauls with threads needs to be carefully debugged. Luckily, root without threads works fine.

3) mysql - easy

Adding WITH_MYSQL option to port is easy (5 min), just look at my postgresql compile-time option support.
