Hi Daniel,

For a proxy server that servers more authentication methods, it is very
convenient to have a CURLOPT_DOMAIN option for NTLM domain setting.
Once having this option, it is easy to switch between forward Basic Auth and
NTLM auth. Otherwise, if you forward the username like: domain\\user, it
would not work for Basic auth. But if you set domain, Basic auth would not
care.

I have a patch that just does this. This will be put into our production
soon. So could you please have a look at to see if I have any thing left
out?

Thanks a lot,

Xiuping
