Yes.  So was KfW 3, and KfW 2.

If you just need to include krb5.h and link libkrb5, the easiest path is to just use the installer 
from http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/#kfw-4.0 and do a custom installation, being sure to 
install the SDK component (which is not selected by default).  I don't believe that there's 
currently an installer option to disable the installation of MIT Kerberos.exe, but you don't need 
to run that application in order to use libkrb5.

If you really want to avoid having the GUI Ticket Manager application on your machine, you can 
still compile from source, and set KRB_INSTALL_DIR to the desired install tree before running 
'make install' (you would then ignore the directions in the README for building an installer).  But 
I think you would still want to use the source tree from a KfW release, and not a Unix krb5 
release.
