It's not surprising, since the monster patch is from ... what, 1.0.6?

I've updated the cracklib bits since we've upgraded our KDC to 1.2.6 ...
but I'm still in the middle of the migration, and I've been too busy
to produce a new migration kit.  It's probably going to be a while
until I do (and it may even work out that the bits of the migration
kit simply get folded into the relevant software distributions).

But I will say that all of the work I recall doing regarding cracklib
support was simply fixing up the autoconf stuff ... it "just worked"
after that was done.
