I have not touched the authentication machinery yet so I must rely on
other Zopistas efforts. There is a LoginManager which is part of the PTK.
Seems to be well thought out, and it seems to provide a very general and
broad solution to the authentication problem, but I have no idea whether
or how it works.

Another useful add on is for GUF to ship  a complete example of its usage
based on standard Zope objects (Folders etc). Maybe as an exported
folder that the user can optionally import.
