I did quite a bit of work based on your excellent plugin, Johan, and came 
up with a generic checkpassword plugin which copes with the two 
incompatible orders of checkpassword arguments used in the wild, and also 
supports all AUTH methods that qpsmtpd does.  I'm using it with Dovecot 
IMAP's checkpassword. and I can submit authorised mail through qpsmtpd 
using my Dovecot credentials.  Kewl :)

I still have some changes which Ask suggested to apply to my 
auth/checkpassword, but I'd like to know what we should do about this sort 
of situation.  I don't want to usurp Johan's checkpassword in the Wiki 
with my own, as his may fill someone's needs better than my fancier 
version does.  I could create another page but then it gets confusing.  
How can we have a repo which holds alternative plugins for the same 
functionality, without confusing users ?  What do you all think ?
