I looked at briefly. I even built with your code easily w/o knowing anything
about SSPI. No problems building it. I just added
'-DUSE_WINDOWS_SSPI -DUSE_SCHANNEL' to my CFLAGS.
PS. I accidentely had '-DUSE_OPENSSL' together with these. That caused
troubles in urldata.h etc. Can you test fir that and issue an #error message?

So, maybe a naive question. If OpenSSL isn't there to give us https-support in
libcurl, is Windows SSPI/Schannel able to do it? From here, it doesn't look that
way. Please, can you clarify?
