One thing I have been discussing with Jerry Haltom (on IRC) is the
possibility of using ntlm_auth and Cyrus-SASL to handle the
authentication.   This should allow the Windows clients to use their
windows passwords, but more importantly for Windows not to prompt for
them.  

We will let you know how it goes.
