Right, I will tr to look into that in the future. I have a suspicion 
that the whole zope.app.authentication framework is more complicated 
than it has to be part due to the requirements of the whole etc/ 
framework. The whole principal prefix story doesn't make life easier 
either (both authentication objects as well as authenticator plugins 
have support for a prefix but to make it all work you can't specify a 
prefix in both places..confusing).

Anyway, while this would help me if I were developing my application 
towards the trunk, I'm stuck developing against 3.1, so I will have to 
devise a solution there as well, somehow...
