Sounds fine to me.

Should we also make this plugin loadable via the normal plugin mechanism
(that we use for the windc hooks)?  This would allow Samba4 to publish a
plugin that uses socket_wrapper for hosts that use a system heimdal, and
would therefore allow us to run kinit in our selftests. 

(But we should watch for security implications of doing so)
