I think we should add these files, SASL is a standard and this
implementation of it is good. Just a comment:

I don't think this should be added to Emacs or Gnus. It is a
non-standard SASL mechanism and few if any servers supports it.

This file is generally useful, but it is not needed by the SASL stuff.
I think it should be added.
