From: John Gilmore <gnu@cygnus.com>

I have the Cygnus kerberos source tree building the DES and KRB
libraries, and a minimal version of kinit, from the common source
tree.  Configuration and a small part of the build still happens on
Unix.  The kinit scaffolding is running in a QuickWin environment for
debugging.  The libraries aren't DLL's yet, just ordinary libraries.
Kinit sends out a request packet, but isn't yet receiving the
response.  Ticket storage has been dummied out at the moment.  There's
no GUI.

This bear is dancing despite the same source tree continuing to
compile on a bunch of Unixes.  It's almost readable, too, and a lot
cleaner than it was a month ago.  The Mac port is almost linking
kinit, too, though it's a few days out of sync with this source tree.

I expect to have test versions for the hardy available within a few
weeks, with kinder, gentler versions to follow.  Let me know if you'd
like a copy and at what point.

	John
