Neither, from your description you want ncsa_auth. It should be included
as well I hope, if not lets ask Guido to include it.
ncsa_auth is included into the Windows binary kit.
If needed, NCSA support tools (htpasswd and chpasswd.cgi) for Windows
are available here:

The mswin_* helpers is for authenticating to the Windows user services.
Which may be the local accounts on your XP if you like.. The three
mswin_* helpers is one per authentication scheme (see the auth_param
directive).
Local account authentication can be done using mswin_auth (basic) and
mswin_ntlm_auth (NTLM). For negotiate usage, a Kerberos KDC is
needed, so it cannot be used without an AD Windows domain.

Guido
