No, all your configuration options are in the resulting Negotiate.pm.

I am thinking of configuration:
It can be usefull to the user to configure the flags passed to
init_security_context (MUTAL and so on).

My ideas:

1. use Environment variable containg the names the user wants to set.
   (export LWPBLAFLAGS = "GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG GSS_C_MUTUAL_FLAG"
    for example)
   Problem: this is a global configuration.
   (maybe the user does not want to forward credential to *all*
   Servers he uses)

2. a per-host configuration like most browsers do.

   I fear that means a Configfile withe
    hostname => config
    value pairs.

   But where to put the file?
   And when pull in into LWP::Authen::Negotiate?

   on first run of package itself?

   on first run auf authenticate() (using counter?)

3. another idea?
   how is LWP configuration done in general?
   I have asked the on libwww-mailinglist, but got no answer
