The
idea is somehow to delegate the authentification task to Pserv (also
handling the case where a MediaWiki account needs to be created).
1.4 has an experimental authentication plugin system for precisely this
kind of thing. Create a child class of AuthPlugin (see AuthPlugin.php)
and override some methods. Set $wgAuth to an instance of this class.
It's not well documented as it's new and experimental and no one's
really _used_ it at this point. It may need further work to really do
what's necessary.
