[cvsnt] cross-platform SSPI/NTLM implementation for CVSNT?

I don't really know a lot about these things so this might be totally
irrelevant but I just read (on http://www.mozillazine.org) that the
Mozilla.org people managed to implement platform-independent NTLM
authentication. The article announcing this says that by this they were
able to ditch the old Windows-only implementation which relied on
Microsoft's SSPI API...

Now, I was thinking: Could this maybe also be a solution to bring
SSPI-authentication (or NTLM) to (non-Windows) CVSNT builds?
Their implementation appears to be based on
http://davenport.sf.net/ntlm.html and details about the implementation
are said to be found in the corresponding Bugzilla entry:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224653

Just thought I'd let you know...

Cheers,
