I am very glad to see that this work in being performed.

Please be sure that all exported functions that are removed from a DLL
are replaced with a stub that returns and error code.  Also, make sure
that ordinal numbers are assigned to all functions listed in the .DEF
file.  Functions with unassigned ordinals are alphabetized by name and
assigned unused ordinal values from lowest to highest.  A failure to
make these changes prevents an application built against version X from
working with version Y.

I'm not sure what versions of Windows MIT intends to support.
The issue that 20277 was intended to address (regardless of whether or
not the author's code was correct) is still present.  The version of
ntsecapi.h required to produce a correct build needs to be from version
6.0 of the SDK or above.

It should print its own file version number from the compiled resource data.

will these items be removed from the source repository?

do we need another cross platform portability library?   Heimdal's roken
is extremely well supported and is license compatible.  I recommend you
import the portions of it that you require as an external third party
library just as openafs has.  See the openafs src/external/heimdal/roken
directory.  The effort required to port it to Windows has already been
performed.
