Thanks!

I'm no Kerberos expert, but if this need exists then I think your approach is
quite fine.

Two minor comments:

  o I would appreciate the new option(s) documented as well.

  o http_negotiate_sspi.c has pretty much the exact same logic duplicated (for
    builds that use the Windows SSPI instead of the libcurl provided code) so
    I would argue we should move out the building of the full service name into
    a separate function that can be used from both negotiate files.
