Avoid wedging Exchange 2007 with GSSAPI.
Exchange 2007 wedges if we try GSSAPI authentication and fail for lack of suitable credentails (for instance, because the user did not run kinit). Only try GSSAPI automatically if we have credentials. Reported by Patrick Rynhart, Debian Bug #568455, and Alan Murrell, to the fetchmail-users list.
