annotate HACKING @ 29872:a044ddee7878

Improve on a hack I commited in 12/2007 which allows connection via XMPP to iChat Server 10.5 when CYRUS-SASL is compiled with GSSAPI support but no GSSAPI credentials are valid to connect to the server. Instead of always trying jabber:iq:auth if all SASL mechs fail, we now only do so in the specific case of a single mech having been attempted and that mech being GSSAPI. In general, this means that we now gracefully fail authentication with SASL rather than getting ourselves booted from servers not expecting a jabber:iq:auth stanza.
