Description of problem:
gssapi is a generic API that is used e.g. for passing kerberos tickets
without giving passwords over and over again or - even worse - storing
them in the home dir. 

This is supported by the imap server as well as pine, fetchmail etc. 

The mailcheck applet requires the passing of passwords nevertheless.
This foils the efforts put in a kerberized setup. 

An enhancemant could be done in 2 ways:
a) implement gssapi support in the mailcheck applet
b) give a possibility to provide a command on whose exit code 
   mailcheck decides wether new mail arrived or not 
   (this alternative is much simpler, I suppose). 

In the second case, fetchmail -c -m gssapi could be used as 
command to run.
