Of course. :-)

Ok. Useful feedback would go down well before someone commits this to
squid-cvs. As much as I like committing bleeding-edge code .. :-)

Ok. Uhm, squid-cvs is mirrored in 'devel' on squid.sourceforge.net.
I'm guessing that you can just diff between the devel and ntlm branch
to get the diffset, and add any files in that need adding in the ntlm
branch.

Once you have a patchset that patches against squid-cvs cleanly, post it
up for evaluation on squid-dev / squid-users, and once some positive
feedback comes in, committing it will be discussed. I personally think
that this code would be very very very useful in 2.4-STABLE, but as we
are meant to be in tidyup/bugfix mode right now, its up to Henrik/DUane
also as to whether they want to commit it.
