annotate HACKING @ 27039:9a79f8a99259

Set charset=utf-8 when cyrus sasl doesn't include it. Both deryni and my reading of the digest md5 cyrus plugin is that the response will never actually include the charset (digestmd5.c:make_client_response, look for IsUTF8). I future-proofed this code by checking for it anyway. To be polite for older servers, we might want to only send this if the server sent charset=utf-8 in the challenge (and encode everything to ISO-8859-1). However, the RFC doesn't say always sending it is wrong (and that's what the in-tree implementation does).
