Daniel announced this week that we are approaching feature freeze for cURL
7.33 and as I felt it would be best to add XOAUTH to POP3 in the same
release as IMAP and SMTP I have cobbled together the appropriate
implementation.

I have pushed this as commit 18db7438512de1 and would appreciate it if you
would be so kind to review the code at some point.

Many thanks in advance

Steve
