It may also be worth keeping in mind that sometime in the not-too-distant-
future AuthUser is expected to support authentication via LDAP 
(and possibly RADIUS):

   $AuthUser['ldap'] = 'ldap://ldap.example.com/ou=People?uid=$1'

We probably don't need to document this until it's implemented, but
it might affect the organization of Cookbook.AuthUser so I thought I'd
mention it.
