1) If patch(1) is segfaulting, something else is wrong with your 
installation.

2) Why is your cygport(1) under /usr/local?  The cygport packages that 
are part of the distro (curr. 0.9.9) install under /usr.

The major difference if you built heimdal OOTB is that you have only 
static libraries; the Ports .cygport makes shared libs as well.

I just uploaded the binary packages here:

ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/heimdal/

You'll have to download them manually for now.

One reason I haven't ITP'd this build is because I have no means of 
testing it in real world scenarios.  'make check' did pass, so that's 
promising, but I need someone else who is familiar with KRB5 to tell me 
it really works (or tell me how else I could test it).
