I meant to add that if anyone knows a specific reason why gmake+expand
just won't work on Windows or Mac, please clue me in.
Using non-standard tools for building for Windows and Mac --- and gmake
is nonstandard for those platforms --- is a complete non-starter. We
*must* using native build tools. Cygnus tried using Cyg-win 32 to build
Krb5, and they've figured out this was a mistake.
We want non-Unix programmers to start using Kerberos V5, then we can't
use Unix-based tools. As much as we can, we have to use the native
based compilation tools.
