Almost, except that you do not want to rely on position as you do when getting 
the pfolder name.

Because principals from LDAP or SQL might not have this type of information.

Because InternalPrincipal is not a principal, but just the information to 
create one. Probably a better name for InternalPrincipal would be 
PrincipalInfo.

BTW, you should really read the README.txt file carefully again, especially 
where it talks about principal creation at authentication time.
