Why is kcpytkt not shipped in a normal installation?

kcpytkt and kdeltkt were added in late 2004, before my involvement in
the project.  From the version control history, it looks like it might
have been intended to add these commands to the install for Unix-like
platforms, but configure.in was not modified to generate their
makefiles, so the build system skips them during "make all" and "make
install".

The release notes for krb5 1.4 do say "New client commands kcpytkt and
kdeltkt for Windows," which acknowledges that they are only present in
KfW and not in the Unix build, but I haven't found any other discussion,
and no one appears to have commented much about these commands in the
intervening 15 years.

Can you describe your use case for kcpytkt?
