At this point, I believe all the API changes for the Windows integration
have been merged into the tree.  I have already detailed all the
significant changes in my previous e-mail messages.  The final name for
the free function for krb5_unparse_name is:
	krb5_free_unparsed_name(krb5_context, char FAR *)
If it weren't for the segmented memory architecture of Windows, we
wouldn't even need this.  However, it is probably good practice to have
associated free routines for items allocated by the library anyway.

Feel free to check out the mainline tree and bang on it to make sure
that nothing broke.  I made several code fixes to try to match up
allocations and frees, even in the Unix applications.  For instance, the
V4 kdb load lacked various krb5_free_context if errors arose.

I have been able to compile everything under Solaris, and it seems to
work, so I don't think I broke too much.
