[jcifs] Kerberos

[Michael B Allen]

Hi Tony,

I believe there is an example in the top-level directory that
exercises the Kerberos version. Or perhaps it is in the examples
directory (it would be the only example that is NOT in the stock JCIFS
package).

Note that the Kerberos version has only been tested with this one
example (although I believe the group that provided the Kerberos
version used it in a production environment at some point).
