Pull out CMA authentication from 5.1?

[Glen Mazza]

Hi Team, I'm presently going through the user profile/create user/modify 
user JSPs to make sure they are working correctly (e.g., fields 
hidden/shown) for our three working auth methods, DB, LDAP, and OpenID.

We also have a nonfunctioning CMA auth mechanism, it consists of one 
class (RoleAssignmentFilter) and a three or four old references within 
the application and no web.xml or other configuration necessary to get 
it to work.  I'd like to pull out that option for 5.1, until we get some 
user demand for it, including a patch implementing it.  Users have the 
5.0.4 source code for ideas on how to implement CMA, at least on older 
Tomcats, but they'll need to do some research on how to hook it up to 
their particular servlet container.  WDYT?

Regards,
Glen
