There's no simple way to degrade auth-source.el if EIEIO is not present,
unfortunately. I can special-case strings to mean authinfo files as a
backend designator for all hosts and logins and defalias `oref' and
`defclass' to 'ignore if EIEIO is not available. It will be ugly.
I was hoping to start using EIEIO in other packages, though, hence this
whole discussion. If we must support Emacs 23.1 then I can't do that.
