So, here it is. I've implemented this idea and it has been checked
in. You can find it on the branch:

  sidnei-challenge-protocol-chooser

I've added a functional doctest to exemplify how it works:

http://cvs.zope.org/Products/PluggableAuthService/plugins/tests/Attic/ChallengeProtocolChooser.txt?rev=1.1.2.1&only_with_tag=sidnei-challenge-protocol-chooser

I would like to merge this branch early next week and make a new
release of PAS if everyone is fine with it (Remember: silence is
consent!) for inclusion on the next beta release of Enfold Server
which is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug 17.
