Hello,

	I have just read some messages about things that could be
implemented as alternative backends for KConfig, like a LDAP backend, for
example.

	There is, however, a rather large problem: authentication.

	The current KConfig API makes no previsions for configs that need
passwords/usernames/whatever to work.

	If anyone has any idea of a nice way to add this, wouldn't it be
nice to have it in place, so we avoid a binary incompatibility when
someone actually goes and implements one of those backends?

	I must confess I have no clue on how to do it myself, except by
asking the user and storing it in a known place.
