Mmmm... An interesting idea Patrick - cheers.

Like you say the callback would tell the program what mechanisms are
available and accept a parameter back that tells it what mechanism to use.
Alternatively it could take a list of mechanisms rather than a bitwise long
so we could overload the preferred order as well (Something else that I've
been wanting to do).

So for example the server tell us:

250-AUTH GSSAPI NTLM LOGIN

But I may want to say use: NTLM, then GSSAPI then LOGIN ;-)

Cheers

Steve
