The named function _is_ the plugin structure. Just provide a C function
that does what you want. I think Dave wants to be able to specify a tcl
proc via a tcl command, or maybe a different c proc via a tcl command.
But the point is, this is a single point of entry for replacing the
authentication for a request. You don't need a filter, although there is
already support for providing these in tcl right now.

So the question is: couldn't you get the same effect by ensuring the new
auth code ran as the first 'post-auth' filter?
