[Mediawiki-l] Integrating MediaWiki User Database with phpBB

[Beans-v6]

I'd like to integrate phpBB's user database with my wiki's user database 
so my users do not have to register twice.  I'm using MediaWiki 
1.2.4beta6 (yes I know it's not the newest).

I've looked at the login code, and I can't see an immediately easy way 
to do it.  I assume I would use the phpBB database for both, but I can't 
think of how to integrate the session IDs of phpBB and the cookies of 
MediaWiki correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
