This reminds me on a somewhat random note that SSPI mode authentication
should work out of the box for unix domain sockets on Windows.

The main reason we probably can't use it as a default is that SSPI isn't
easy to implement for pure language drivers, it requires Windows API calls
to interact with the windows auth services. It's a pain in JDBC for example.
