As far as I'm concerned, code for optional plug-in things like this need
only compile cleanly to avoid problems for other developers -- it need not
be functionally complete yet. (Early check-in means you get more feedback
on features as well.) I can take care of updating the build environment
to optionally compile this, if you want to focus on just the code.
I did some reading last night on the JAAS specs and sample programs -- I'm
interested in seeing how you approached role mapping.
