Thanks for applying these patches. The build seems to work.

I see, your intension. We are building a JEE application. This
application is installed as an system service, SVN credentials are given
by the users. As we run as a system service windows can't prompt for
credentials, and the user that runs the application normally hasn't the
permission to access the SVN repositories.

How about using a system property to control whether the native lib
should take responsibility to determine the credentials? I could provide
a patch if you think that would be a possible solution.

Our testing infrastructure is limited, but we will test these NTLM
fixes.
