And mining the open-ils-dev archive more deeply, Dan's patch inspired 
Mike Rylander to do some brainstorming in late 2009 about adding a 
pluggable authentication system to Evergreen. [1]

If folks are interesting in working on it, I'd love to see that 
discussion picked up again, as something like what Mike is proposing 
would mean much more than just LDAP support in core (though that would 
of course be a big win in and of itself).
