Yes. That appears to be the entirety of the documentation right now. :(

Been working on it but have not yet reached these two nasties. Any help
you can give in that direction, however small, would be very welcome.

Something strange has happened...

* The patch present in that daily bundle removes the paths completely
from smb_auth.sh. Relying on the shell environment $PATH instead now.

* smb_auth.pl is the "multi-domain-NTLM" helper.

smb_auth.sh is a script designed to be run internally by smb_auth binary
helper. It gets passed some combination of the input line from Squid and
the parameters configure on auth_param program line.
