In my mind, you should always write separate tests for separate
elements. If you want to test SASL GSSAPI, nothing forbid you to create
a GSSAPI-unit project, where you launch a kerberos + ldap server. The
very same for changepw.

At least, it will help people like me who are trying to cope with
Kerberos and all the other related subprojects : it will provide a clear
base for each project's tests, instead of mixing everything in a giant
server-uni catch all test.

As we already have around 50 subprojects, 3 more won't harm a lot ...
