If it helps the major history that I recall for NTLM is:
 - There was a broken branch, I don't recall the original author, Pat
someone perhaps.
 - Using it as inspiration Kinkie and I overhauled the squid internals
and went beyond the fake helper that had been created to get a actual
SMB implementation running; this failed miserably in production where
Kinkie worked though...
 - Andrew Bartlett chimed in around this point with the samba winbindd
helper which solved the reliability problems the SMB approach had by
allowing the local machine to generate challenges.
 - Guido wrote native helpers for windows (analogous to the winbindd
helper on unix machines)
