cvsnt 1.11.1.3 Beta 7

Fixed repository prefixes.
Fixed password checking in pserver mode.
Implemented encryption in gserver.
Fixed 'cvs passwd' (didn't work properly in local mode).
Added sspi protocol.

SSPI protocol is ntserver over TCP/IP, but because we do the
authentication ourselves there is much more control.  Also, this
should work on Win95/98 as well (provided they have the security.dll
that comes with IE5.5+ - untested at the moment).

Encryption is also supported, by specifying the -x or --encrypt
options to the cvs command line.

In the simplest case, it works like ntserver:

:sspi:foo:/repository

This connects using the current user on the current domain, and
doesn't require you to login.

You can also specify a different user:

:sspi:me at foo:/repository

Depending on how your domain authentication is setup, you might or
might not need to login (using 'cvs login') in this case.  

If you're going via the internet you might need to specify the domain
too:

:sspi:DOMAIN\me at foo:/repository

In this case you will almost certainly need to login first.

If you do use 'cvs login' to store the password it is stored in a
reversible encryption in the registry (in the same way that pserver
is).  However unlike pserver it is never transmitted in this form to
the server.
