I meant to submit this right after the 4.1 release, but a move
across the country got in the way.  so, sorry in advance.

my hope is that this port will get included so that Simon,
maintainier of mail/msmtp can turn on SASL support.  this
library, libgsasl, was the only thing standing in the way since
the author only supports GNU's implementation of SASL and no
others.

comments, critisisms?  this is my first port, so please let me
know where I have gone wrong.

thanks.

pkg/DESCR:

GNU SASL is an implementation of the Simple Authentication and Security
Layer framework and a few common SASL mechanisms. SASL is used by
network servers (e.g., IMAP, SMTP) to request authentication from
clients, and in clients to authenticate against servers.

The library includes support for the SASL framework (with authentication
functions and application data privacy and integrity functions) and at
least partial support for the CRAM-MD5, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, ANONYMOUS,
PLAIN, SECURID, DIGEST-MD5, LOGIN, NTLM and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms.

MAINTAINER NOTE:  NTLM and KERBEROS_V5 mechanisms are not included in
this port due to requirements for libraries that are not in the ports
tree.
