RFE: cyrus-sasl2 add PAM support

Description

With the current cyrus-sasl2 port (2.1.21_0), PAM is not a supported authentication mechanism in saslauthd. It would be nice if it was.

The following page describes a hack to get it working: ​http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://gema.luna2.org/mt/2006/11/cyrus_sasl_pam_on_mac_os_x.html

The page has some formatting errors, so here is a cleaned-up version of the relevant text: 

sudo port configure cyrus-sasl2
cd /opt/local/var/db/dports
cd sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports
cd security/cyrus-sasl2 
cd work/cyrus-sasl-2.1.21/saslauthd
sudo vi saslauthd.h 91st line/* #undef HAVE_PAM * ↓ #define HAVE_PAM 1
sudo vi Makefile 70th line LIBS = - lresolv - lresolv ↓ LIBS = - lresolv - lpam 
sudo port build cyrus-sasl2 
sudo port - f uninstall cyrus-sasl2 
sudo port install cyrus-sasl2

The modified cyrus-sasl2 seems to work on my computer.

12 years, no implementation. I think we can safely put this one to rest.
