Other new features are

- admin interface reads web2py twits (perhaps we'll change to RSS but
now his works fine)
- choice of third party authentication mechanisms including BASIC,
GMAIL, LDAP

from gluon.contrib.login_methods import *
auth.login_method.append(email_auth()) ### this will check credentials
against Gmail
auth.login_method.append(ldap_auth(...)) ### this will check
credentials against LDAP, look at code, will require config.
