gpl sasl

[Lawrence Greenfield]

I've been talking to Simon somewhat about his API. He doesn't think it
would be hard to implement a compatibility layer; I suspect he's a
little optimistic but I'm hopeful we'll all come to the same API
eventually.

   We're vaguely aware of it.

   It doesn't implement the same API.  There's actually currently an effort
   to standardize the API for sasl libraries to something similar to Cyrus
   SASL.  The API is discussed in draft-newman-sasl-c-api-00.txt.

   Note that the above draft is a *very* rough cut, and is still being
   brought in line with the current SASLv2 header files.
