First time I've heard of it. Does it have some advantages over other 
mechanisms? Is it useful to distribute with Dovecot, or should it 
rather be just a separately distributed plugin? Except:

@@ -14,7 +14,8 @@ enum passdb_credentials {
  	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_CRAM_MD5,
  	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_DIGEST_MD5,
  	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_LANMAN,
-	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_NTLM
+	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_NTLM,
+	PASSDB_CREDENTIALS_RPA
  };

Plugins can't update this list. And it's already too large. I think 
I'll change these to strings.
