You read my mind. This is one of the things we can schedule for some (near)future release. In fact, we should be somehow gathering ideas for what needs to be done in 4.1 because the 4.0 is out of the door (well, almost). I'd like to see nice clean C-level hooks which would allow AS to accomodate various authentication methods as a plugin module (either in C or in Tcl alone). This is of course only one interesting addition. I'm sure there are number of them out there.
