[PATCH] GSSAPI authentication for wget (resend)

I forgot to send the patch. Here it is.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I have always missed the GSSAPI authentication feature of the KRB5 FTP
command line tool included in Fedora Core 2 krb5-workstation package, so
I have implemented it for wget. The attached patch adds automatic GSSAPI
authentication in wget 1,9.1.

The only change in behavior is that, before performing an anonymous
plain-text login, the AUTH GSSAPI command is sent to the remote FTP
server. If the remote FTP server supports GSSAPI authentication, via the
ADAT command, GSSAPI authentication is negotiated between the wget
client and the remote FTP server.

Please, feel free to use and review this patch. I have used code from
krb5-workstation to implement the GSSAPI authentication for wget. There
will be probably many bugs. I have tested it against the FTP server
available in Fedora Core 2 krb5-server package, and two remote servers:
HEANET.ie and Rediris.es.

Thank you very much.
