into a file and add it to your port/distro?

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 ?

You could just make a new <code> section further down on the page, maybe with its own header?
