RFC 2831 support in Archiveopteryx

Abstract from the RFC text:

This specification defines how HTTP Digest Authentication [Digest] can be used as a SASL [RFC 2222] mechanism for any protocol that has a SASL profile. It is intended both as an improvement over CRAM-MD5 [RFC 2195] and as a convenient way to support a single authentication mechanism for web, mail, LDAP, and other protocols.

Notes: Digest-MD5 is expected to be reclassified as historic due to interoperability problems. Archiveopteryx 3.0 will disable support for it by default.

There are no errata for RFC 2831 (as of 2008-08-25).
