openssh unix dev - Apr 2006 - OpenSSH 4.3p2, MIT KfW 3.0 and Cygwin

Has anyone successfully built openssh with MIT's KfW (Kerberos for 
Windows) under Cygwin?

Is it even possible?

Searching around I found one reference to Nicolas Williams attempting to 
do this several years ago, but no indication of success and nothing more 
recent.

What about compiling openssh using a native windows compiler?  Is that 
possible?  I'm afraid I have NO experience compiling anything using a 
native windows compiler which is why I'd prefer to use cygwin.  But if 
cygwin isn't possible I'd resort to using something else.

The GOAL is a GSSAPI enabled ssh client (preferably with gssapi-keyex 
support) that uses the nice GUI front-end provided by KfW.  Those windows 
users get too confused if you tell them they have to go to the command 
prompt and run "kinit" every morning.

FYI if you use the native SSPI, your tickets are refreshed every time you 
unlock your screen. Of course SSPI presumes you either use your AD servers 
as your KDCs for all systems, or that you have a trust relationship between 
the realms. There are at least 3 SSPI SSH clients I know of:

- patched PuTTY (2 different versions exist, but only one allows you 
specify the host principal, which is required for x-realm logins)
- SecureCRT
- Kermit 95

I've wanted to try and build OpenSSH using Microsoft's Services for
UNIX,
and then try and add SSPI support, but I don't have enough free time these 
days.
