My pleasure! It almost seems like writing it was less effort than your review.
(and maybe that is evident with all the white-space issues I missed...)

POP3 might support OAUTH 2.0, but I have not found a provider that has
implemented it. I know that presently the google POP3 service does not
support OAUTH 2.0.

You are correct, that was a vestige of some testing I was doing. I removed it.

I was trying to avoid an error if no password was specified, since the bearer
token is the password. I have since changed it to only evaluate err if
the bearer
token is not present. I still don't like this though, because it only
works if the
user has specified the --bearer parameter before the --user parameter. Perhaps
there is way I am not aware of to look ahead in the options provided to
determine if the --bearer parameter has been specified, negating the need for a
password.

All of the items you mentioned have been corrected and the only notes for any
of the items you listed are added above. When I wrote the stack based buffer
in the sasl file, I was without internet access using an older version of cURL
source -- it felt dirty at the time but I tried to match the conventions used
elsewhere in the same file. I should have checked those areas after I pulled in
the more recent commits.

Not a problem; git makes that easy!

Thank you very much for your attention to this project and the related patches.
