Work in progress... For starters, see the attached file for some example authentication modules (source included).

The thing with authentication modules is that you most likely want to chain them. Just like Blackboard does with their LDAP module
("xxx_fallback_to_bb") but more generic.  A module should try to handle an authentication request and if the given information (like POST parameters and/or HTTP request info) is insufficient it should pass the request to another module.
