It's a little unclear to mea how much the krb5 krb4 library is or is
not supported on Windows.  You yourself said that you had implemented
support for this library in Kermit because people were using it.

KFW does not ship this library, but the krb5 sources do support
building outside the KFW framework on Windows and in that
configuration do build the library.


When we contemplated the krb524 change, you were asked to review
whether the difference in the credential structure would be a problem.
You said that because the KFW krb4 library had a larger credentials
structure and that because it was allocated by the caller, no problem
would result.

The fact that we were concerned about the difference in the
credentials structure suggests to me that we are at least reluctant to
change it for 1.3.
