Yes, that'd be in the GSSENC code, which I hadn't been expecting to be
used under Windows. If you're successful, I don't have any issue
helping to make that work, though I'm curious if you're trying to build
with MIT KfW (which is rather ancient these days, being based on krb5
1.13 and not updated since..) or with a more current release...?

Of course, it'd be good to get a buildfarm animal in place that's
actually testing this if we're going to make it work.

Regarding the setenv() call, should be able to use pgwin32_putenv() in
place on Windows, I'd think..?

Thanks,
