I've now committed my first big change supporting these new protocols.

They all work more or less, but my plan is now to work in-tree to get them
working correctly and I have POP3 working in the test suite, I have IMAP
almost working and I think getting SMTP in there should be fairly easy too.

All "old" protocols should still work exactly like before, but since this is
the largest change to libcurl done in quite some time I expect some things
will need attention now.

If you want to help out with getting these new protocols up to speed, then
please go ahead try them out and get a feel for how they work and join in. I
expect to work in CVS from now on.
