Description
The currently published code supports GSSAPIAuthentication, but not GSSAPIKeyExchange. It would be very useful to have this support. Most modern Linux distros support this option, and given the Kerberos integration with AD, it seems to make sense for a Windows port to have this feature.
https://github.com/SimonWilkinson/gss-openssh/ contains the base code for most of the Linux patches.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing GSSAPIAuthentication support in Win32-OpenSSH and the base Linux patches in the linked gss-openssh repository. Determine the Windows-specific scope for GSSAPIKeyExchange and how it fits the Kerberos and Active Directory integration. Done means the published Windows port supports this option and its behavior is verified.
