I've had patches to use the Cyrus-SASL library for a while now; they
haven't been accepted.  I suspect part of the problem was that with
support for TLS, qpopper was being changed to do session encryption
(which SASL also provides) and the changes I made weren't compatible.

If there's interest from the qpopper camp, I'll rework them for the new
encryption stuff in 4.0.  I don't expect it will be that complicated.

(What I'd really give my left nut for is proper SASL support in Eudora
for POP and SMTP.  Sigh)
