[Dovecot] GSSAPI support status
Hi list!
I'm wondering, what is the current status of GSSAPI (krb5) support in Dovecot? I know from googling that there used to be a patch for it around a year ago, but I haven't seen a trace of that patch ever since, and GSSAPI doesn't even seem to be mentioned in the Dovecot source tree (at least not according to "grep -irl").
Is GSSAPI planned at all, as it stands? If not, is there a way for me to get my hands on the original patch, so that I can fix it up for the current version of Dovecot? I'm eagerly waiting for the day that I can switch from UW-IMAP to Dovecot, but I don't want to until I can get GSSAPI authentication.
Thanks for reading!

I have no plans to make it work anytime soon. The patch is here: http://dovecot.org/patches/dovecot-gssapi.patch
If you get it working again (in 1.0-stable or 1.0-test, don't waste time with 0.99.x), I'd be happy to merge it.

Of course, I don't really know how much time I can spare, but the issue is certainly important to me, so I'll be looking at it for sure.
