This is fixed, thanks.  It was simplest to just copy those functions to
tramp-imap.el, considering it shouldn't depend on Gnus anyhow.

That makes sense, yes.  Do you think you could add it?  For now I left
it nil, so imap.el will pick the best available stream.

I applied them all, thank you.

Current status: passphrase management works, but I should hook
auth-source into it.  Saving a file works, both to a new name and to an
existing name.  Opening a file works.  Deleting a file doesn't work yet.
I hope users can start testing this so I'm not just testing it against
my Courier IMAP server in GNU Emacs (XEmacs should work too, for
example).

I think it's OK to throw this into Tramp when file deletion is added and
all the extraneous comments are removed.  All the TODO items should also
be done.  By then we should have some test cases too.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the long delay...
