This link is a cvs checkout of PAM for linux, i.e. they develop PAM 
using cvs for
source revision control. You need my patch and the source code to cvs 
1-11-6.
See some earlier postings on the CVS mailing list bug-cvs where I describe
the procedure. It would all be a lot easier if I could just refer you to 
a cvs version
of cvs with the patch included but it seems like something - I know not 
what - is
holding up it's appearance despite the fact that it is a very popular 
feature
request.

Can anyone on the list enlighten me as to why it is not applied?

The configuration of pam which allows authentication via windows I know
nothing about.
