Hi Jeff,
IMHO, at the end of the day if the Kerberos user community wants
to see an on-going development of KfW as a true open-source project
then folks will need to contribute dev cycles and/or resources.
By that I mean cycles on Windows development for KfW.

I personally do not think MIT, the MIT-KC board and Members would
like to see us spend the amount of money that Secure Endpoints is asking for
on a single vendor.
