Ah, I should have thought of that. Dang.

At the very least, the searching machinery shouldn't return principals
if there isn't a factory that understand them.  I'll look at this.

In general, the user experience of setting up a pluggable authentication
is pretty bad.  It badly needs to be improved.

I have some ideas for improving the UI, if anyone's interested. :)
