Static compile on windows

[Jeffrey Altman]

As I said before, the build system does not produce static libraries.
If you want to have them you will have to customize the build system
in exactly the same way you customized the libraries.

Can you explain why you feel there is a need to use static libraries
if you need to interact with both the MSLSA credential cache and the
MIT Kerberos libraries?  Are you aware that the MIT APIs provide access
to the MSLSA credentials cache?

What functions from the Kerberos libraries do you need access to
that are currently not exported?  If a function is not exported there
is probably a very good reason as well as an alternate method for
performing the operation.

If you are adding something like a new pre-auth mechanism, I am sure
that we would prefer that you work with us instead of distributing
something of your own.
