It already does that. arcfour-hmac-md5 is NTLM hash as far as I understand
it, that how you could upgrade from a windows NT4 to a W2K wo having all
your users change their passwords. Heimdal doesn't support unicode and that
might be a problem for you.

Luke solved the problem with digest-http/digest-md5 by having the kdc also
store those hashes. I've yet to add that patch since I don't have any
consumers of the code yet.
