Thanks for all the input.  I found a tool called NTLMAPS at 
http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/ which allows one to create a pass 
through proxy which understands NTLM proxy servers and are able 
to connect and forward HTTP requests and return responses so long 
story short I can now git clone as I need to NTLMAPS config file 
is pretty easy to configure with your proxy authentication 
information.  However I did have to change the following 
named/value pairs.

from this

LM_PART:1
NT_PART:0

# Highly experimental option. See research.txt for details.
# LM - 06820000
# NT - 05820000
# LM + NT - 07820000
NTLM_FLAGS: 06820000

to this

LM_PART:1
NT_PART:1

# Highly experimental option. See research.txt for details.
# LM - 06820000
# NT - 05820000
# LM + NT - 07820000
NTLM_FLAGS: 07820000

The proxy that I am behind was not happy until I did that.  
Anyway it is working now and I hope this post serves to help 
others with the same issue.

also note that I had to use http:// in place of git:// in the git 
paths and in the case of DWT I had to go to every major folder 
and git clone them individually because for some reason git 
wanted to use git:// for subsequent requests.  It is strange that 
it did not do that for the Win-Res folder just for the others.  
So I had to do commands like the following

C:\GITClones>cd dwt

C:\GITClones\dwt>git clone --recursive 
http://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/base.g

The only other thing I wish git could do is compile it for me so 
that I wouldn't have too but until we have HDgit I guess I am 
stuck with all this command line busy work.  Thanks again for 
every ones time.
