Hi All,

I just wanted to inform everyone who would like to build licurl with
with Kerberos that MIT's Kerberos for Windows 3.0 builds fine with a
few minor changes in the code.

However, I do not have anyway of testing the functionality at this
point since libcurl currently does not have a way of explicity
specifying to use kerberos for authentication.

I am currently working on this and would endeavor to produce a working
prototype, if at all possible.

Btw, krb4.c requires getpid(), it exists in Cygwin unistd.h though.
Does anyone know what function could replace this call?

Thanks for the help

Allen
