I've comitted both patches to Emacs CVS, so now auth-sources will be
consulted for smtpmail.el and url*.el functions.  Please let me know if
you have any problems authenticating for SMTP or HTTP (basic or digest);
you can take a look at auth-source.el and make any suggestions you see
fit as well.

Thanks
