Merging Ultr@VNC code into RealVNC?

I've put together a library based on the codebase provided by the Samba team
that supports NTLM authentication.

We're using it to add NTLM as an authentication mechanism to our custom POP3
services (so you can check the Secure Password Authentication checkbox in
your Outlook / Outlook Express).

James, I'm not sure where NTLM support ranks among the development
priorities for RealVNC, but if you're interested I'll send you a tar of the
library.

Regards,

Stephan.
