I installed Cygwin on W2K8R2 (thanks for the tip BTW) running in 
VirtualBox, and was able to get a ticket from the Windows KDC with 
Heimdal's kinit.  The krb5.conf was quite simple:

[libdefaults]
         default_realm = YAAKOV04.LOCAL
[realms]
         YAAKOV04.LOCAL = {
                 kdc = WIN-MP8TGPRC41F.YAAKOV04.LOCAL
         }

Where YAAKOV04.local is the AD domain, and WIN-MP8TGPRC41F the name of 
the AD domain controller.  FWIW I tried kdc = 127.0.0.1 but it didn't 
work, I'm not sure why yet.

So while I suspect we're going to get a lot of questions on the list, as 
this is working properly, I'm going to go ahead and upload this with the 
fixed localstatedir.
