The krb5_ccache implementation is very close to a pluggable interface.
It uses a prefix name (API, FILE, MSLSA, etc) as an index into a table
of function pointers. By adding a configuration file parameter, sites
could develop their own ccache implementations without requiring
re-compilation of the krb5 libraries.

Perhaps in krb5.conf a new section:

[krb5_ccache-plugins]
PREFIX1 = library-path1
PREFIX2 = library-path2

It would be nice if this feature could be turned off at compile time
(I know, this is rather an odd request). We provide kits for a number
of architectures, and I'd prefer to NOT give users the ability to
add an arbitrary credential cache type.

compile time disabling is a reasonable request for this and all other
plugins.
