Perhaps I should've explained. :-)

Nnimap >= 0.80 is a series of nnimap's which will lead to something
that is FSF-copyrighted, hence suitable for inclusion in Emacs/Gnus.

Nnimap < 0.80 is the "stable" branch and will only see bugfixes. At
most 40 bugfixes to be exact, but I think 0.80 should be usable within
a couple of versions..

This will be in 0.81, 0.80 doesn't do any authinfo stuff.
