That's a good idea. I'll look into it hopefully sometime during this week.

Nope, that's not possible. The function is passed to 
krb5_get_init_creds_password as a pointer to function and the prototype is 
therefore dictated by kerberos libs. This could be overriden by some clever 
use of typecasts but this would be an ugly hack in my opinion.

Well I do agree. Now that I have an official permission to hack the build 
system I'll happily do it ;)
However a thought came to me last night that maybe this function is not needed 
after all. It's there as a workaround to a bug/feature (go figure ;) in 
kerberos libs but I think I know an easier way to solve it. I just have to 
test if it works.
