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

The question is, do they belong in Gnus or outside Gnus?

What is SASL?  What does it do?  What job do these files do?  Is it a
job specifically related to news or mail?

Could this feature work with Rmail or Mail mode?
