As Richard already replied that would add a huge overhead to Net_Cyrus
that's not necessary as it is intended to only be an administration class
for Cyrus, not a full featured IMAP protocol replacement.

Patches to add or extend functionality are welcome once the class is in
PEAR.

It does this by using Auth_SASL that is used in Net_Cyrus too. So there's no
gain here.
