Binary package hint: cntlm

This is rather late to request a new upstream pre-release version, but I feel it's worth it for the following reasons:

At my University we are forced to use CNTLM/ntlmaps to make port-80 connections off campus. There was recently a change to the ISA proxies, and ntlmaps no longer works for us. CNTLM hasn't been all-roses, though, and we've had many issues with it, unfortunately these are hard to debug (and most users just restart it, so no LP bugs).

However, with this cntlm RC, we've had significantly less issues. I've been running it for around a month. It still needs to be restarted every other week, but it seems reasonable to try and get this RC into Ubuntu.

I have a version in my PPA that I and others in my lab have been using. I intend to upload something similar.

I've contacted the upstream developer about this, and he says:
> > Are you anywhere close to releasing 0.91?
> I can release any time. It's been tested beyond reason, has many more
> features, proxies support, stand-alone proxy mode, via PROXY + direct WWW
> NTLM(v2) auth and is extremely stable...

He is an Ubuntu user, and will presumably help us should we run into issues with this RC.
