The first part developed on that branch was a reorganization of the
ra_serf auth code to make it easy to plug in new authn implementations.
That part was already merged to trunk some time ago (in the 1.5 timeframe).
What's remaining is an implementation of NTLM which is plugged in next
to Basic auth, and only used when the server sends a "WWW-Authenticate:
NTLM" header.
