Thanks. I don't use erc, so I can't say if this useful.
If someone who does use erc thinks it is worth installing, I can send
you the copyright form.

So someone has to load erc-sasl to use this. I think it would be better
if there was just a boolean variable they had to set, and it was in
erc.el, and loading erc-sasl happened automatically when needed (eg
erc-sasl-use-sasl-p was autoloaded).
