+SUMMARY="The Cyrus SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer)"
+DESCRIPTION="The Cyrus SASL library is a generic library for easy \
+integration of secure network authentication to any client or server \
+application. It supports authentication via standard plaintext methods as \
+well as CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 shared secret methods and KERBEROS_V4 and \
+GSSAPI Kerberos methods. The SASL protocol framework is used by SMTP, \
+IMAP, ACAP, LDAP, and other standard protocols."
