MIT Kerberos / GSS libraries are DLLs that are shipped independently.  
It is not appropriate for individual software packages to distribute
their own builds of the libraries.  Nor should a software application be
tied to a specific release of the libraries.  TortoiseSVN should
recognize when Kerberos/GSS is available and use it when it is and
ignore it when it isn't.  As a result I see no reason why TortoiseSVN
should be built against MIT Kerberos source. 

As a user of TortoiseSVN I would be more than happy to speak with the
author on this matter if he contacts me.
