OpenSSH 4.3p2, MIT KfW 3.0 and Cygwin

Has anyone successfully built openssh with MIT's KfW (Kerberos for
Windows) under Cygwin?
Is it even possible?
Searching around I found one reference to Nicolas Williams attempting to
do this several years ago, but no indication of success and nothing more
recent.

What about compiling openssh using a native windows compiler? Is that
possible? I'm afraid I have NO experience compiling anything using a
native windows compiler which is why I'd prefer to use cygwin. But if
cygwin isn't possible I'd resort to using something else.
The GOAL is a GSSAPI enabled ssh client (preferably with gssapi-keyex
support) that uses the nice GUI front-end provided by KfW. Those windows
users get too confused if you tell them they have to go to the command
prompt and run "kinit" every morning.
