Yes.

Yup.  I agree this would significantly help deployment of Shishi.  The
good thing is that it shouldn't be that difficult to achieve, Shishi can
handle the ccache format already, what is missing is the glue to handle
this automatically.  We've planned to implement ccache/keytab
compatibility support in the core library, but we are not there yet as
I've been too busy with too many other things.

Thanks,
Simon
