Just as a status update:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266485 is the Mozilla bug
to implement a client for Negotiate/SPNEGO.

http://download.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/trunk/mod_ntlm_winbind
is an apache 1.3 module, which calls Samba's ntlm_auth.

I've created a concoction of Samba3 and Samba4, and it works. I'll work
to make it a little less fragile, but it should give you some idea how I
think it should work...
