There's a registry entry. This is what I found in lib/common.c:

    /* Open registry entry, and find all registered SASL libraries.
     *
     * Registry location:
     *
     * SOFTWARE\\Carnegie Mellon\\Project Cyrus\\SASL Library
     *
     * Key - value:
     *
     * "SearchPath" - value: PATH like (';' delimited) list
     * of directories where to search for plugins
     * The list may contain references to environment
     * variables (e.g. %PATH%).
     *
