git send-email was not authenticating properly when communicating over

everywhere where system accounts are used.
Now that's a solution that makes me feel less dirty than

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/178818/focus=178824

even though, by forcing Authen::SASL::Perl to be used bypassing XS and
Cyrus variants, this _might_ be introducing regression for others. We'll
find out soon enough if anybody screams ;-)

I see you already researched previous discussion and have Joe Perches in
the loop; Thanks.

Dirty is dirty.  I don't see this as better or worse really,
but thanks Zbigniew for bringing it up again.

It'd be best if Graham Barr, the module author (cc'd),
could respond to the issue.

cheers, Joe
