Well, so far there's been only a single report of cram-md5-ey
brokenness, so I think there's still a real chance of getting away with
adding no conf options in this area.
But I think I'm going to do what I proposed -- if the connection is
TLS/STARTTLS, then we're going to default to using LOGIN, so CRAM-MD5 is
used for non-encrypted connections only. It'll be slightly faster.
