svnserve authentication using sasl + pam + winbind

Hi

is it possible to authenticate users from a Windows active directory to
a svnserve daemon? From what I have seen when googeling around was that
most of the time the apache module is used when more complex
authentication is needed. I would like to avoid the need for an apache
on our internal server.

Current situation:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Winbind for domain user authentication on the Linux box
svnserve using simple authentication via authz/passwd files

Goal:
Having only the authz file left with the permissions of the single users
to the repos. The authentication should be done using the user database
from the windows domain controller.

I think SASL + PAM + WINBIND is the way to go. Before I get lost in a
lot of documentation on the internet:

Has someone done something like this before? Any hints?

Thanks
Matthias
