Subject: GSS in POP3

Is there any interest in trying to get a GSS implementation in POP3?  (GSS
being the new standard way to do secure authentication.)  Yes, we have
APOP, but there aren't many implementations of that, and it doesn't help
with Kerberos.  The current Kerberos pop implementations do something so
ugly that I don't even want to mention it in public.
