The generic URL syntax allows "=" and ";" in the <user> part of
<login>, so you could use
imap://;auth=KERBEROS_V4@minbari.org/
to put the authentication method in the user field. The generic syntax
for the IMAP URL scheme should be careful to document which things are
URL-encoded, though. Right now, RFC 1730 says that a user name can
either be an atom or a string, but the draft-newman-url-imap-02 says
that the 'login' terminal follows 1738 syntax.
