[krbdev.mit.edu #1586]krb4 credentails structures

["Jeffrey Altman [Kermit Project]" via RT]

I am still investigating the problem.  The problem is not really caused 
by the fact the CREDENTIALS definition is different in KRB5_32.DLL or 
KRB4_32.DLL.  The problem is that building Leash has a conflict with 
attempting to bring in the correct header file since they have the same 
names.

I am still not sure whether or not that is the problem.  I am still 
investigating.
