I put some debugging hacks in setup_auth() and figured out that since I am 
configuring authenticators in app_cfg.py, with the tg 2.2 auth layer, the 
SQLAlchemyAuthenticatorPlugin() is not  instantiated in 
add_auth_middleware().  Hence, (a) it does not consume some of the 
auth_args, and (b) the authenticate function is not called for 
friendlyformplugin logins.  

Since the logic in setup_auth() relies on either **all** or **no** 
authenticators configured, I would have to instantiate the SQLAlch 
authenticator myself and configure it in base_config but then I would have 
to do surgery on the auth_args (kw arg), and even then AppConfig 
automatically creates a self.sa_auth.translations parameter (which would 
choke PluggableAuthenticationMiddleware().

One alternative is to modify either setup_auth() or add_auth_middleware() 
to handle the above scenario.
