Applied, thanks.

Yes, that seems like a good idea, at least for mml1991/mml2015.  Maybe
it isn't a good idea for PGG to depend on mml-sec variables though?

Hm.  Actually, I think it may be better to use password-cache and
password-cache-expiry from password.el instead.  What do you think?

Or better, we put the variables in mml-sec, but the defaults are to
use the values from password.el.  Some users may want different
password caching policy for mml-sec than for other passwords, but if a
user changes the password.el values, the defaults change everywhere
else too.  I think that causes the least surprises.

I'm not sure..
