That's very helpful; I had run into this problem with debugging builds
before, and didn't know how to fix it.  (However, we don't want the
consolidated VISUALSTUDIOVERSION conditional; see
https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/0533ebf04d6ab98ccb18652466ea910600bab219
)

With this fixed, our master branch builds under VS2015 with NO_LEASH=1.

We'll figure out a fix for this.

I have been testing with appveyor (which provides a Travis-like
continuous integration service for Windows), and have encountered a
third problem:

    uicc.exe kfwribbon.xml kfwribbon.bml /res:kfwribbon.rc
/header:kfwribbon.h /name:KFW_RIBBON
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows
Kits\10\bin\x86\uicc.exe"' : return code '0xc0000139'

which may just mean that the VS2015 Community Edition on the appveyor
VMs isn't sufficient to build Leash; I'm not sure.
