GNU SASL 1.5.2 - experimental release

[Simon Josefsson]

The GNU SASL 1.5.x branch is NOT what you want for your stable system.
It is intended for developers and experienced users.

The main new feature in this branch is support for GS2-KRB5.  Tested
with GNU GSS+Shishi, Heimdal, MIT Kerberos V5 on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and
Windows.

New in this release is MIT Kerberos for Windows support, see:

Top-level NEWS entries:

** gsasl: Avoid fixed size buffers.
This caused problems on Windows where the BUFSIZ was too small for
some line lengths with GS2-KRb5.

** tests: Fix error strings to be more unique.

** doc: Added section on how to build with MIT Kerberos for Windows.

** doc: Added PDF version of API reference manual.
See doc/reference/gsasl.pdf.

Library (lib/) NEWS entries:
