[krbdev.mit.edu #7963] Building Krb5 on windows

[via RT]

So version 4 of KfW is actually Kerberos version 5?
Also once I installed KfW4 how exactly can I use it? Is it adding all the environment needed? All I need to do is include krb5.h?

Kerberos protocol version 4 is insecure.

The MIT Kerberos for Windows version 4.x series provides an implementation of kerberos protocol version 5 that is suitable for use on Windows, along with a GUI Ticket Manager application.  I am not asking you to use unsupported software; on the contrary, I am explicitly asking you to use the software which is supported for this purpose.

The build on windows is expected to work if you are using a supported version of the source tree.
