I didn't take it that way in any sense, I just wanted to explain some of 
why it's not in the state we'd like.

As an option, you could do it in Apache with mod_auth_kerb worst case, and 
pass in REMOTE_USER.

But if you're saying that everybody accessing the IdP can use SPNEGO, then 
the error handling issues that make this so painful go away for the most 
part and it should be much cleaner either way. If not, the pain here is 
because SPNEGO (and HTTP authentication in general) is just badly designed 
for these kinds of environments.
