What happens when the winbind_spnego and the gssapi_spnego are
registered at once? I did not address this because I did not have
winbind in my tree at the time.. I imagine that the same 'if' that
surrounds the internal ntlm module is needed here..

Ideally though it would be nice if the config file could specify a
mapping from SASL name to internal module and NTLM_USE_WINBIND could
go away.

BTW, I have yet to find anything that uses this SASL mode.. MS did not
implement it in even the latest version of outlook, despite authoring
the standard. :( Thunderbird has all the machinery to support it
through SSPI, but it never parses the SASL name to use the
negotiate-sspi module, so it doesn't use it either.. Plus, nobody
outside of Windows sspi clients cares about NTLM.

Thanks,
Jason
