MIT seems to call this KfW (or kfw) - shouldn't we use the same terminology here? https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/kfw-4.1/kfw-4.1.html

You would be correct. No idea why I had it in my head as K4W.

I think it might be better to link https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ so that they can grab the latest version - what do you think?
Also, https please :)

Sure thing. I used the download to make sure they would grab the right one, so I'll just add some more instructions instead.
I copied the link from that page directly, not sure why it is http.

As I described in #193, it would probably help out our users to add K4W to the PATH at import time if necessary and yield helpful errors if we can't find it.
