That's a usage/documentation error, in that the documentation is trying
to describe how to do something difficult without using a lot of words.

To define KRB5_DNS_LOOKUP, I think you'd have to do something like
"nmake CPPFLAGS=-DKRB5_DNS_LOOKUP".  But as mentioned in the
documentation, that wouldn't work because the code assumes a
libresolv-compatible resolver library.

The rest of what you saw are bugs.  The current Windows developers are
building from a source checkout rather than a zip file, so the
kerbsrc.zip target has fallen out of date and we haven't had an internal
need to fix it.  Thanks for mentioning the issue.
