Fulcrum was going to be the services layer for Turbine.  It was never
released though.  It is used by turbine-3 (also never released).

You can use Fulcrum with Turbine 2.x for some services.  However, you
migth want to consider using the services coupled with Turbine for now.
The same security service is also included with Turbine 2.2.  

There is a new security service in the proposals directory of fulcrum.
This is basically what will be moving into Turbine 2.3.
