The patch (rather modified since its last version on the list) made it
into HEAD on Sunday night.

As to a 'dlopen' module patch - I think its neat, until we get this done
properly.  (We actually need a generic way of doing this, but for
now...).

The version in CVS has a 'location' argument, so no need for the extra
lp_...().  I'll change the code to split the 'passdb backend' paramater
into 'name : location' when I get a chance.

We will also need some example modules (so I can test this :-).
