In theory at least, there's nothing about k5start that wouldn't work on
Windows so far as I know.  In practice, it will need build system porting.
I personally neither have a Windows system nor have access to one nor know
what to do with one if I had one (the last version of Windows I used
personally for long enough to understand how it worked was Windows 3.1
without networking), but I'm definitely happy to take patches and
contributions from people who do.  The next version of remctl will have a
Windows port, for example.

Anyone who is thinking about working on this may want to wait for the next
version of remctl, which will have some build system setup that could
potentially be copied and reused for k5start.
