this is nasty and wrong, but...

perhaps you could just call gss_init_sec_context() once with the krb5
mechanism and "afs" service specified, and convert the krb5 service ticket
returned (as a GSS token) to a krb4 ticket to be poked away somewhere.

the only reason i can see to do this would be to use the underlying,
native win2k krb5 implementation to acquire the initial afs@REALM ticket,
so that you'd only have to port over the 524 conversion routines/service,
not an entire Kerberos distribution.
