It's just a mirror of the latest cyrus-sasl 2.1.26 source, where I 
posted it with my patch for select() applied.
I'd recommend either using the patch against the source, until the fixs 
gets included.

For my system that was having failures, I used the 2.1.25 source, 
because that's the same version of the package Joyent has installed.

Because I used the exact same version from Joyent's install, I left the 
existing package in place and only replaced the file 
/opt/local/lib/libsasl2.so.2.0.25
