PINE / Alpine Decrypting Password Files – October 26, 2020 (read more)

I have an instance of Alpine 2.0 that still has the old-style .pine-passfile that is fairly insecure, but I couldn't find a utility to decrypt it for me, so I grabbed the source code from imap.c from version 2.01 of the alpine source, and modified it to just read in a password file and output the passwords in it. (See below for how to decrypt the newer versions as well)
