ok, http://www.ideal.net.au/~collinsdial/squidntlm20010103.tar.bz2 is the magic location. It's a fully checked out source tree of
the ntlm branch on squid.sourceforge.net I don't know how stable it is (I only put the recent structural changes into the ntlm code
today). It works for me, but YMMV.

Note: the squid.conf format for authentication parameters has changed. READ squid.conf.default under auth_parm. Your existing config
file can be easily changed to match

authenticate_program ...
becomes
auth_param basic program ...
authenticate_program_ntlm ...
becomes
auth_param ntlm program ...

note that you will want the ntlm parameters before the basic ones (to work around MSIE's brokeness).
