I'm kind of on the fence, but I like having it in /etc with all my
other system authentication stuff: passwd, pam, etc.  Anything going
in the book would leave out my tweaking of directories.  I was
determined to solve this circular dependency thing because I actually
use ldapdb for postfix.

Sure, I'll add it in there when I make sure that the openldap-2.3 hack
works.  I'll just do all the changes at once.  There's also the matter
that the gcc4 patch could really be an sed and the saslauthd man page
goes to man/cat8 by default.  cat8??  s/cat8/man8/ on the saslauthd
Makefile.in does the trick.

One other note while on the subject of cyrus-sasl.  In CVS right now
is a parameter for conf files that's also configureable at run-time. 
So, the conf files that are now forced to be in /usr/lib/sasl2 can be
put in /etc/sasl2 or wherever.  Like smtpd.conf, for example.  There's
supposed to be a new release coming up.
