KfW 4.1 is based on krb5 1.13, which includes the OTP client code, so I
think that's only half correct.

I was planning to do a Windows release based on the 1.17 branch (for
SPAKE support, if nothing else), but I don't have a specific time-table.

HTTPS proxy support is not currently part of the Windows build, because
of the OpenSSL dependency.  I can make an attempt to bring that in when
I make time to do work on the Windows port.  (Bringing in an OpenSSL
dependency would also make it possible to enable PKINIT support, though
that might also require some work on the PKINIT code.)

It is now possible to build the Windows installer from source using the
community (no-cost) version of the MS compiler.  See src/windows/README
in the source tree for details.
