[jcifs] Is there a simple C library for the NTLMSSP?

I don't think there is actually. At least not something that combines the
client with NTLM HTTP auth like jCIFS does. This is something where jCIFS
is actually leaps and bounds ahead of the other guys. The integration of
everything is pretty good I think.
