woops, my bad.  I thought Google's servers were totally wrong, turns
out they just _require_ the SASL auth data when the auth mech is
picked.

eg: try:

<auth xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl"
mechanism="PLAIN">AHJvYgBzZWNyZXQ=</auth>

where AHJvYgBzZWNyZXQ= is base64 (\0rob\0secret\)

i.e. use base64(\0<username>\0<password>)  The first \0 is important!
