I think it'd be easy to do using isa_plugin - just have "hook" that

No, I mean that I could have multiple AUTH providers configured (one
for virtual domains and one for local users) and the top level AUTH
plugin has to loop over all of them until one suceeds (or fails),
preferrably using the existing run_hooks() framework. Without looking
at the code, I don't see how to do that without either:
a) replicating all of the code in run_hooks;
b) adding a new hook in the plugin (which I don't necessarily like,
but I haven't given it that much consideration at this point).
Hmm. That is complicated. Might be made simpler now I broke run_hooks
down into run_hooks + run_hook (see high_perf until I get that checked
in), but that still seems the wrong approach. The right approach is to
be able to arbitrarily add hooks (heck, we might want all sorts of
other hooks for things like "hook_ssl_cert" or something).
