I applied your patch to my copy (attached below).

Regarding caching, I think the cache key will be a serialized version of
SPEC that expires when the file is modified or after a minute.  I really
don't like caching this information, though; I'd rather force the client
to cache those results if it makes sense.  So I may be annoying and
remove `auth-source-do-cache' and all the related code altogether.

OK, I'll aim for that to be done soon.

Thanks
