Nico has drawn a raw sketch about SSPI (Microsoft schannel),
and that API will probably require a minor change.
I have not personal experiences with schannel, but from what
Nico described, I think a single new API function and slight
modification of the context iteration functions might
be sufficient (as discussed earlier postings).

CreateRenegoSecurityContext(prev_context, options, &new_context);
