I think that this experimental EXT wrapper is in the unstable build -- 
Tony or someone who's following it please correct me here if I'm wrong.

Traditionally, EXT has been used only for SSH AFAIK.  It is in the 
current stable CVSNT build and has been there since CVSNT's inception (I 
think!!).  The new part that Tony has added is a wrapper for *other* 
protocols to allow them to be called through the EXT protocol, so now 
you will be able to use any of the CVSNT protocols via a client that 
supports EXT and not, say, SSPI directly.  So your second statement was 
true :)
