	We've seen two partial sucesses with
	GINA already, IBM's and the nsgina
	for nis (yp), so it's at least possible...

	A GINA that does a minimal window,
	collects data and ships it to an
	authentication server in some
	appropriate format, and then displays
	a sucess indication or a server-	
	supplied error message would allow us to
	build suitable back-ends, and might
	be more maintainable than previous ones.

	I, for one, would love to see a GINA
	I could update via the default login.bat (;-))
	that would be independant of the 
	authentication mechanism.
