During installation of kdepim3 module there is question about cyrus-sasl

this is not true, kdepim3 never had cyrus-sasl as optional depends in
the first place. *ever*.

KMail program from kdepim3 module will not allow me to send e-mail
without installed cyrus-sasl in correct location. During installation
of kdepim3 module there is question about cyrus-sasl optional
installation. I said yes and both modules were installed, but KMail did
not allow me to send e-mails. So downloaded manualy cyrus-sasl (the same
version as in lunar module) and installed it manualy. Now KMail can send
e-mails because it finds required libraries in their default location.

To sum up:
1. The module cyrus-sasl can not be optional for kdepim3 module because
KMail (and maybe other apps like KNode) will not be able to send
e-mails.

2. The cyrus-sasl module should be installed to its default directory.
If any other module requires cyrus-sasl in non standard directory,
during installation of such module a symlink should be created pointing
to standard directory od cyrus-sasl. The programs which looks for non
standard locations of libraries must be in minority and probably will
be fixed soon.

Temporary fix:
Download and manualy install cyrus-sasl from tar.gz package.
