    GSSAPI authentication from Thunderbird to Cyrus IMAP works!

    You MUST:

    1. Specify a FQDN for your IMAP server in Thunderbird's
         account settings. I was specifying an IP address. Not
         good enough.

    2. The FQDN must resolve somehow. For me, it was a matter
         of adding info to C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

             192.168.168.100 noodle.foo.com

    3. Your domain, of course, must map to some Kerberos realm.
         This is done in your /etc/krb5.conf or krb5.ini for
         Windows. Here's how mine was setup when working:

             [realms]
                 JBTEST = {
                     kdc = 192.168.168.100
                     admin_server = 192.168.168.100
                 }

             [domain_realm]
                foo.com = JBTEST
                .foo.com = JBTEST

    4. Obviously specify 'Secure Authentication' in the IMAP
         account's properties.

    5. In Thunderbird: Tools | Options | Advanced, Config editor
         set network.auth.use-sspi to false.
