Thanks, Stefan.  I've released getmail 5.6 with your patch included, though I
can't really test it as I don't use Gmail (and won't).  I made a few minor
changes - it would be nice if the above webpage could document using this
functionality as released:

  -`gettoken.py` renamed to `getmail-gmail-xoauth-tokens` so users know what
  program it belongs to and can have a hope of finding it with a web search ;)
  -it was using a default path to the token data file that isn't appropriate
  for software installed outside of a user's home directory.  I've changed it
  to explicitly require the path to the .json file as a positional argument,
  i.e. password_command = ("getmail-gmail-xoauth-tokens",
                           "~/.getmail/gmail.json") or similar.

Thanks for the contribution!

If anyone extends this to other IMAP providers, I'd be happy to include the
results in getmail if it requires as few changes as this did.
