I tried doing this once, and ran into problems, because the NSAPI modules
have to be shared objects, which doesn't exactly agree with non-shared
libraries.
What I eventually did (which led to me apache external-auth module) is
wrote a small/simply NSAPI module that just called an external routine to
do the checking...
So, just write a very simple call that uses system() or something and
checks the result code... Pass the userid and password either on command
line or in the environment.
