give people the option to use an LDAP server, then they will have to have
one somewhere.

only if we have time should we provide an LDAP server.  like with swat, it
can be run instead of an existing http server.

there's some client-side code which we can drop in (isn't there?) so
that's solved, and that's a different issue from server-side (suggestions
above).
