Don't tempt me :).

Actually, implementing 'extensions' is simple because, unlike vm-pop,
pop3 does implement the full set of basic POP3 commands (except LIST
which is generally useless).

There are two reasons why I did not implement APOP.  One, my POP server,
the Qualcomm qpopper, does not understand it so I cannot test it.  Two,
I have not dug up a precompiled MD5 filter program for Win32, which is
where I have been doing most of my development work.  This is currently
on the to-do list.

As for Kerberos... not a chance of that happening here, so if you want
to implement it, go for it.
