Ah! Thanks.  Is there a way I could have found that out without asking  
the list, or is it just Something One Knows?

For example, my program uses Apple's Address Book.framework, which  
loads LDAP.framework, which loads the system version of libsasl from / 
usr/lib.

Well, 2.1.18 is already installed by default... but the point of using  
the 2.1.18 sources is exactly what I wanted to try; I just didn't know  
what 'real' version of cyrus-sasl to get.  On my local system (Mac OS  
X 10.5), this has worked perfectly... I need to test it out on a 10.4  
system to be sure that this is a complete solution.

Thanks much for your help!
