It's a bit outdated and can't handle multi-line netrc entries, so I'll
probably rewrite it at some point.

I have no idea what your commit:

+                   ((and (member elem tokens) (null pair))

does without re-reading all of the surrounding code.  Can you give an
example of what it supports that didn't work before?  I thought quoted
password were already supported.

Thanks!
