module GS2(P:PROFILE)(GSS:Netsys_gssapi.GSSAPI) : 
         Netsys_sasl_types.SASL_MECHANISM
  (** This is an adapter turning any GSSAPI mechanism into
      a SASL mechanism. This is the "GS2" technique as specified in RFC 5801.
      (Note that in particular for Kerberos there is the other specification
      RFC 4752 which is implemented in {!Netmech_krb5_sasl}.)

      Create the final module like
      {[
module P = struct
  let mechanism_name = "FOO"
  let announce_channel_binding = false
  let mechanism_oid = [| 1; ... |]
  let mechanism_acceptable_oid_set = [ [| 1; ... |]; ... ]
  ...
end

module S = Netmech_gs2_sasl.GS2(P)(Netgss.System)
      ]}

      {b Remarks for clients:}

      The profile specifies how user name strings are mapped to GSSAPI
      names. [authz] names are passed to the server as-is.

     {b Remarks for servers:}

     The profile specifies how GSSAPI names are mapped to user name strings.
     The [lookup] callback is then invoked with this user name, and the
     unaltered [authz] name.

     If [lookup] returns [Some c] for any [c] the user is accepted.
     If it returns [None] the user is declined.

    {b Parameters:}

       - The parameter [mutual] is understood but ignored. Mutual authentication
         is always requested from the GSSAPI mechanism.
       - The parameter [secure] is understood but ignored
         (GSSAPI is considered as secure method)
