There are no releases that include NTLMv2 support. However, I believe
Tony Lewis developed NTLMv2 support prior to the 1.12 release. It hadn't
included as part of Wget last I knew; but this was due to the fact that
no one had gotten around to testing whether Wget's NTLM (v1) support was
still working after the patch (I believe it was a rewrite of the NTLM
stuff); he tested the NTLMv2 functionality himself.
