I don't think this has anything to do with bloat. What it does point to
is that SASL and documentation about SASL is one of the least
human-understandable subjects I've seen. In order to get it to a point
I could comprehend, I took the SASL_README, ripped out the
SASL1-specific stuff (I have SASL2), took what I regard as ancillary (MS
Outlook stuff and the like) and placed it at the end of the document
where I could read it after everything else worked, and then tried to
arrange it in the exact order of things I had to do to get it to work.
That probably offends the gurus, but my first priority is to get
something to work...then change things to suit my needs.
