load_protocol only knows the protocol name that the user sent, which
is the same as the dll name. find_authentication_mechanism makes this
even more explicit by passing in the name of the dll as the protocol
name...  I'm not keen on putting any kind of mapping in the registry
because it would require that the client is configured in some way -
the client side currently works OK without any extra configuration...
you can copy the cvs.exe and any protocol dlls you need & just start
working.

A text config file might work...  something like:

[gserver]
;protocol_dll = sspi_protocol.dll
protocol_dll = gserver_protocol.dll
ident_string = BEGIN GSSAPI

[sspi]
protocol_dll = sspi_protocol.dll
ident_string = BEGIN SSPI

etc..

Then it could be copied around with the cvs.exe and the clients would
still work.  It also removes the need for an extra flag (since you
could just comment out the one you didn't want to use).

Can you verify that your changes to sspi are compatible with the
current CVS tree?  I really don't want to change the sspi protocol
again... rc2 is planned for either friday or monday & that should be
the last one before release.
