If the user sets PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS or PKG_OPTIONS.libsoup to gssapi
libsoup-2.4.so.1.8.0 depends on libkrb5 and friends. options.mk
tests PKG_OPTIONS which will contain gssapi whichever of those
2 variables are set.

Now build gvfs which doesn't have a gssapi option. PKG_OPTIONS now
doesn't have gssapi set, so libsoup's buildink3.mk file has to
test both of the above 2 variables to pull in the krb5 libraries.

This seems odd.
