+1 for ldap. How hard would it be to fix the mgd_*_person functions so
they also create and modify ldap objects when used?

Sasl is great in the way that it supports _many_ authentication types,
including one based on mysql. 

If someone knows C I think it should be
fairly trivial to rewrite the sasl 2.1.x mysql-auxprop module to
authenticate to midgard. (I suggest also looking at the up-and-comming
virtual domains in cyrus-imapd CVS). 

This would also happen to make it possible to use strong authentication
types with midgard (DIGEST-MD5 etc) as long as the passwords stored in
the db are plaintext. 

So, basicly there are two ways of doing this:
a) LDAP -> needs changing some mgd_functions. Also doesn't support
strong passwords today (long story take a look at marc and the
cyrus-sasl maillinglist). 
b) Make a patch for the mysql-auxprop module (and try to get it
accepted)
