As I recall, Geoffrey's suggestion had been to perform a custom build
of Mailutils, which is a fair bit smaller than Emacs (not difficult!)
and includes its own version of movemail. However, that version
appears to lack krb4 support altogether, so you'll have to use the
version from the Emacs tree after all.
The good news is that it's not too hard to arrange to rebuild just
movemail:
mkdir ~/krb4-movemail
cd ~/krb4-movemail
cp -a /mit/emacs/beta/src/build/i386_rhel4/src/config.h .
cp -a /mit/emacs/beta/src/emacs/src/{m,s,syswait.h} .
cp -a /mit/emacs/beta/src/emacs/lib-src/{movemail.c,pop.[ch]} .
gcc -c -I. -I/usr/include/kerberosIV -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHESIOD -DKERBEROS -DMAIL_USE_POP *.c
gcc -o movemail *.o
Once you've done so, you can then instruct Emacs to use your version
by taking care to list the relevant directory at the front of
exec-path:
(setq exec-path (cons "/mit/jsol/krb4-movemail" exec-path))
I hope that helps.
