Re: Kerberos + GSSAPI support in Tortoise SVN

Hi there.

Allright...

GSSAPI Take two.

What I did is write a library that provides the same GSSAPI entries as
the official libraries so you can link it with SASL or Neon.

When you call once of the API's entry it tries to dynamically load the
Kerberos GSSAPI DLL and call the same entry in that DLL. If the DLL
can't be found, then it reports an error as if the Kerberos connection
failed.

So if Kerberos isn't installed, it behaves like GSSAPI wasn't even
there, and if it is will use it. The advantage of that method is that
it doesn't need any modifications to the SASL or NEON source code.

This time building TSVN doesn't require any modifications to the
original build instructions ; it doesn't even need the MIT Kerberos
source code or SDK. AWK.EXE isn't necessary in the Tools directory
either.

Let me know what you think
