The DIGEST-MD5 implementation of CYRUS-SASL is incompatible with the implementation in Java. The result is that we failed to authenticate to Java-based servers such as OpenFire when DIGEST-MD5 was enabled. This appears to be the result of a bug in the Java SASL library. While we -could- wait for a fix within that library and tell our users that server admins need to upgrade to get the fix, a client-side workaround is very easily accessible to us. Our own implementation (used when compiled with SASL support) works fine. We therefore will make use of it when SASL chooses DIGEST-MD5 as the best auth mechanism. Fixes #2095. Fixes #2186. Also fixes http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/8135.
