Still don't have a complete patch worthy of review yet, but please see

> Support Keberos authentication of clients. 
> The following usage would let an admin use Kerberos authentication to assign 
> ACLs to authenticated clients.
> 1. Admin logs into zookeeper (not necessarily through Kerberos however). 
> 2. Admin decides that a new node called '/mynode' should be owned by the user 
> 'zkclient' and have full permissions on this.
> 3. Admin does: zk> create /mynode content kerb:zkcli...@foofers.org:x:cdrwa
> (note: for now, the dummy ':x' is a placeholder for the password, and is 
> required by the zk command parser. The user's actual password is not stored 
> within Zookeeper; simply put 'x' there.)
> 4. User 'zkclient' logins to kerberos using the command line utility 'kinit'.
> 5. User connects to zookeeper server using a Kerberos-enabled version of 
> zkClient (ZookeeperMain).
> 6. Behind the scenes, the client and server exchange authentication 
> information. User is now authenticated as 'zkclient'.
> 7. User accesses /mynode with permissions 'cdrwa'.
