The "native" winbind helpers should be removed from squid-3.0 as these are
for Samba-2.2.X which is no longer actively maintained by the Samba team.
Having the old winbind helpers in the Squid distribution is only confusing
to the users. Better to document the recommendation to use the Samba
provided helper for authentication.

The rest should be forward ported, at least for now. While I am not very
fond of the quality of the SMB helpers (or actually the old libraries they
all build upon and the hacky NTLMSSP implementation used in the ntlm
helpers) they still provide a valueable alternative to winbind.
