I've put up the current patch and a test jar file at:

http://ejurka.com/pgsql/jars/gss

At the moment it doesn't offer any of the configurability previously 
discussed except for the fact that it will use the password supplied in 
the connection request to try to acquire a ticket if none is cached.

The application name for the JAAS LoginContext is "pgjdbc".

It only support V3 protocol connections (default for 7.4+ servers).  Let 
me know how it works and what else you would need for production use.
