We are in a maze of twisty little C runtimes, all alike.

You should be able to work around the problem by commenting out KFW_DIR in
config.nmake (assuming you don't need Kerberos decryption).

The easiest way to fix the problem would be to include msvcr71.dll with the
distribution. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh%28VS.71%29.aspx
says:

"An application should use and redistribute msvcr71.dll, and it should avoid
placing a copy or using an existing copy of msvcr71.dll in the system
directory. Instead, the application should keep a copy of msvcr71.dll in its
application directory with the program executable."

We should be able to do this in theory, but I haven't had time to investigate
this fully.

If we can't redistribute msvcr71.dll I can try recompiling it with VC++ 2008.
You'd still have to comment out KFW_DIR if you were using a different compiler
but the official builds would work.

In the long term we might want to add support for GNU Shishi since it
integrates with GNUTLS and libgcrypt.
