Authenticating against /etc/passwd? (fwd)

I've got basic authentication working using .htaccess files, but for my 
particular application I'd prefer to authenticate against the host system's 
own set of users. A quick look says the idea fits reasonably well within 
the existing framework (auth.tcl).  Has anybody added this capability 
yet?  Perhaps something with SWIG to provide the glue needed to make the 
necessary system calls?
