Thanks! Got me part of the way (so far)
auth-source-netrc-parse-all seems to return a compatible result to what
netrc-parse returns.
But there were no replacements for netrc-machine and netrc-get that I
could see?
netrc-get is trivial, netrc-machine less so (though I could copy the
current one out of the emac source, I guess..? I would prefer not to).
In the auth-source code there is lots of talk about backends, which I
assume are Gnus backends, and little/nothing about using it as a netrc
file parser.
The experimentation/digging continues.
