Shouldn't be too difficult, but I don't think there's much point since 
it probably won't work in next 2.3 snapshot anymore..

His suggestion was to instead implement SASL interface via struct like 
it's done for Postfix's dictionaries. Not a bad idea but I don't really 
see how it really helps, as Postfix itself doesn't support dynamically 
loadable modules. Debian adds that as an external patch. So even if I 
did that change (I think I did it almost completely) Postfix would 
still require patching to work with Dovecot, just a bit less.

Maybe I should talk to him more to see if he has some more plans which 
wouldn't require patching. Some day, when I again get inspired to 
update that code. :)
