Sounds good. Of course, this means that we're a bit more on our own
regarding upstream support and communication. Maybe this should be
discussed with the authors, if they'd be willing to split the SASL stuff
out of the FLIM package?
I'll ask. One of the authors said it was fine to include the SASL
stuff in Gnus though, without the rest of FLIM. Actually the author
didn't seem to be aware it was part of FLIM (see discussion on the
ding list). I don't think this would cause much problems, as SASL
does not depend on FLIM. If we at some point want to package all of
FLIM, it can simply require SASL for the SASL files.
