  "system context" will make it use wrong(?) user name - at least when compared
  to what winhttp does. See https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=535
 
-6.4 Negotiate needs a fake user name

- To get HTTP Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication to work fine, you need to
- provide a (fake) user name (this concerns both curl and the lib) because the
- code wrongly only considers authentication if there's a user name provided.

+6.4 Negotiate and Kerberos V5 need a fake user name
+
+ In order to get Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication to work in HTTP or Kerberos
+ V5 in the e-mail protocols, you need to  provide a (fake) user name (this
+ concerns both curl and the lib) because the code wrongly only considers
+ authentication if there's a user name provided by setting

+ new conn->bits.want_authentication which is set when any of the authentication
+ options are set.
