+SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding
+authentication support to connection-based protocols. To use SASL, a
+protocol includes a command for identifying and authenticating a user to a
+server and for optionally negotiating protection of subsequent protocol
+interactions. If its use is negotiated, a security layer is inserted
+between the protocol and the connection.
+This module adds support for Berkeley DB.
