/**
* This library can create responses for SASL authentication for a given
* challenge and a given secret. This way of authentication is common for
* SMTP, POP3, IMAP and LDAP.
*
* SASL is one way strong encryption and therefore useful for authentication,
* but not for secret information transfer.
* It is possibly to prove with SASL to know a shared secret like a password.
* It is not possible with SASL to transfer any other information in an
* encrypted way. For that purpose OpenPGP or SSL are useful.
*
* Currently PLAIN (RFC 2595), LOGIN (not really a SASL mechanism, but
* used like that in IMAP and SMTP), CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2195) and
* DIGEST-MD5 (RFC 2831) authentication are supported. PLAIN and
* LOGIN transmit the credentials in the clear (apart from a possible
* base64 encoding).
*
* For KDE 3.2, the API has been extended to allow transparent use of
* all currently supported SASL mechanisms. Example:
* \code
* KDESasl sasl( myUser, myPass, myProtocol );
* if ( !sasl.chooseMethod( myMechanismsSupportedByServer ) )
* return false; // couldn't agree on a method
*
* int numResponses = 0;
* if ( sasl.clientStarts() ) { // check whether we're supposed to start the dialog
* ++numResponses;
* mySendAuthCommand( sasl.method(), sasl.getResponse() );
* } else {
* mySendAuthCommand( sasl.method() );
* }
* for ( ; !sasl.dialogComplete( numResponses ) ; ++numResponses ) {
* TQByteArray challenge = myRecvChallenge();
* mySendResponse( sasl.getResponse( challenge ) );
* }
* return myCheckSuccess();
* \endcode
