Tom
Nathaniel committed libverto.
Nathaniel
Just a 1st stab at the API. Real code in a day or so. (rewrite) 4 back ends.
Greg
Looks like libs link against libverto, apps link against libverto back ends.
Nathaniel
also "new" API for registering back ends.
Tom
named member initializations (C99-only feature)
Nathaniel
cleaned up. Will send mail when cleaned up.
Greg
How will this interact with GSS-API async extension work? We would have to make libverto part of the API.
Simo
Hand a file descriptor out of the lib.
Nathaniel
Goal of libverto is to avoid that.
Greg
File descriptor approach may be OK for LDAP but not for krb5 (DNS complexity, etc.)

[ some discussion about Love's very terse objections to callbacks ]

Greg
Localization changes. No translations. [Dmitri referred to a free translation service but we don't remember the name.]
Greg
Preauth changes to plugin arch. before making the interface public. (maybe expose preauth cookie)
