Understood ... I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting
into.

Well ... it's a bit rough, but the source code for aklog is in the
AFS-Kerberos 5 migration kit.  Buy a copy of MS Visual C++ (I think now
it's called Visual C++.net, but it's just a newer version); that's $99
at your local CompUSA.  Install it, and run the Visual C++ command line
thing (it will be available from the menu).  It comes with "nmake"
which works with Makefiles like what you'd expect.  You'll also need
krb524.zip, which you can get from ftp://ftp.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/pub/kerberos5
(read the README and follow the directions to get to the hidden directory).
You'll have to poke around the aklog makefile to change it to you site.
(Read MAKE.WIN for more info).

This all assumes that you know the basics of Makefiles, make, and compiling
C programs under Unix.
