Some clarification on the current status:  At this point, there are two
ways to use nmh's XOAUTH2 support for gmail.

The support that's in mainline nmh (including nmh 1.7) for XOAUTH2 uses
these send(1) switches:

  -sasl -saslmech xoauth2 -authservice gmail -tls -server
smtp.gmail.com -user examplefoo@gmail.com

See the send(1) and mhlogin(1) man pages.  This access was not approved
by Google, so you'll get a warning when you set up access with mhlogin.

The second  way to use XOAUTH2 is with Google APIs.  That has been
approved by Google.  There's an implementation on the nmh-gmailapis
branch.  The docs/contrib/gmailapis/README.md file has setup instructions.
It's currently written in Python, but some day I hope to integrate it
into the mainline nmh C code.
