Summary: win32: Build Zephyr

Initial Comment:
Here's a patch, against current CVS, to build and
compile zephyr on Windows, with, or without Kerberos 4
Authentication.

In order to be built (and run) with Kerberos 4
authentication, the Kerberos for Windows SDK (version
2.6.3 is the current version) (licensed under the MIT
license) and runtimes, both available from 

http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/dist/index.html#KFW2.6.3

Also, USE_KRB4 should be set to true in the attached
Makefile.mingw

As on the UNIX side, an external 'zhm' binary needs to run
for zephyr to work. Source and a win32 executable
(using code from gaim's libzephyr, and also MIT's
zephyr distribution), can be found at 
http://web.mit.edu/aatharuv/www/zhm-windows.html

Does anyone have this working on 1.0.2 yet?  The patch fixes 
some files, but fails on a lot of things.  If anyone has a new 
patch, I would like to give it a try.  Thanks.

It might not be worth it to put it in the default build,
though I have received a few queries asking how to get
WinGaim working with zephyr.

I will be making kerberos-enabled builds of the zephyr
plugin (which I test and use heavily), and non-kerberized
zephyr builds (less heavily tested since I don't use it very
much).

I'll take a look at it .. but in terms of including it in the binary 
releases.. Can someone give me a reason why we should?  As 
I mentioned in another patch thread.. in the two years I have 
been part of Gaim, no one has asked me to support this 
protocol.

The package doesn't actually require Kerberos for Windows to
build, though it can optionally be built with it. Zephyr 
could be built similarly to as it is being done on the unix
side -- by default without kerberos, though by enabling a
flag in Makefile.mingw it could be built with it.

Kevin rightly suggests that since this will affect how the
win32 package is made, that we have herman look at this.
