I know you know this, but this is a generalization; the signing
algorithm is opaque to the GSS-API consumer and indeed, post
RFC 4121, to the mechanism implementation itself.

Yes, it works, implementing SASL integrity on top of gss_wrap()/
gss_unwrap() is not difficult but you will need to use
gss_init_sec_context() to establish the security context.
