well, apparently not *that* successfully, because sasl doesn't think the
plugin is there.

the build is just fine for all i can tell.

i don't know how well it would work; when i tried to set it up, it
seemed excessively complicated, so i just concluded it's not worth the
trouble. others have claimed it's straight-forward in principle, but i
don't remember receiving a positive report that it actually works (the
topic was raised on both the list and the issues tracker(s) previously).
