Will: Congrats on 1.10. verify_init_creds? Are you planning on modifying to try all principals in the keytab?
Greg: Not committed to a specific timeline but was planning on it.

Tom: Platform assumption changes. Why do we need MSVC?
Greg: MSVC can use mingw DLLs. Some claims you can't mix them in the same lib/exe.
Tom: pthread-only library versus not
Will: Processes in Solaris 10 are multithreaded by default. Thread support now part of libc.
Tom: Python for normal build. Windows?
Greg: Making Windows build easy is not a high priority (said Sam).
Simo: Python 2.4... might be OK minimum.
Greg: Nightly requires 2.3 effectively.

Tom talks about version scripts etc.

Simo: GSS proxy interposition in mechglue.
Greg: In-tree or out-of-tree?
Simo: Easier to build out-of-tree at the moment.
Greg: Framework for loadable mechs, but not interposition. Could add interposable mechs as a desirable.
Greg: Portability... maybe use macros to get some benefit of named initializers without requiring C99.
Simo: Gets ugly.
Greg: Do front ending [ GSS proxy ] for now, then discuss 1.11 possibility of interposing.
