Fair enough; that seems pretty straightforward.

I'm a LITTLE unclear on what happens on Windows if you call
LoadLibrary() on a plugin which has a reference to an OpenSSL library
and your application links with another OpenSSL library. We ran into a
problem related to that on Linux. But from a practical matter if the
MSI installer installs the Kerberos libraries in a private directory,
the corresponding OpenSSL libraries would also be installed in the same
location.

I think we're all in agreement here.
BTW, would the license on the Henry Spencer regex library be acceptable?
