The configuration is now simply the existing security configuration, so
everything is started from security.xml, which is the only file which'
location is fixed. Nothing is to be changed in that now. If we integrate it
in Authetnication itself, that it's configuration file will become more
complex.

No pieces of code should stop working when you wrap the existing
authentication by this. If it does, something is really wrong.

The code is optional, because you can simply not use it. In fact I can plug
it in on e.g. a 1.7 installation (though then I must write the password in
the wrappers configuration).
