#659 NTLM support without OpenSSL

[Daniel Black]

My look a the code seemed to indicate that NTLM authentication was only possible with OpenSSL.

I'm hopeing this was right cause thats what I told a user.

I've now applied and committed your update to the FAQ. Your description is accurate.

Note that there's really no technical reason why we couldn't implement the same functions (that are needed for NTLM) using the libgcrypt functions that are present when we build with GnuTLS, it is just one of those things that never have been done.

In fact, this little task is also mentioned in the docs/TODO file.
