Brion, in comment #5 on this patch, you mention adding an external authentication hook. Do you expect to implement this Real Soon Now? I can live with or without it--I only wanted to know if I should pursue this patch as-is, or wait for the plugin.
A stub plug-in interface is in CVS right now (see includes/AuthPlugin.php in the main phase3 module and auth/SampleAuth.php in the extensions module) but probably needs some more work before it's really usable to adapt the LDAP patch. (For instance the patch as posted adds a 'domain' selector to the login page, which there isn't yet a hook for.) If someone wants to hack on that that would be great, otherwise I'll take another pass at it after I've done some more optimization and upload-scanning work.
We're planning to take 1.4 into beta within the next week, with a 1.4.0 release sometime in December.
