Building under Visual Studio 2015

[Benjamin Kaduk]

Hi Chris,

First, thank you for writing this and letting us know what obstacles you
ran into; it's always nice to get feedback like this.

Unfortunately, the KfW 4.0.x series is pretty dead at this point; I would
not expect there to be another relase in it.  (Recall that it is based off
of the krb5 1.10.x series, which has been end-of-life for a couple years
now.)

In the 4.1.x series (currently in beta 2), I believe we fied the
VISUALSTUDIOVERSION conditionals, though I am not sure whether the other
two issues have already been fixed.

If you don't mind, I'd be curious to hear how you start up your cmd.exe
build environment (or if you use some other setup); in particular, whether
src/windows/README is still useful or should be updated.

Thanks,

Ben

Though untested, I thought you might find it useful to hear what other fixes I found, beyond the ones I saw in this mailing list.
