At the moment, authentication is really handled all that consistently.

There is Auth_with_cas.pm, Auth_with_ldap.pm, and perhaps one day
Auth_with_Shibboleth.pm.

There is also Persona which relies on a DOM API and Javascript on some OPAC
pages. 

All of these different methods also hook into Auth.pm.

They all work but it's not really that easy to see how they work nor is it
straightforward to add new forms of external authentication.

I don't have a plan of how to improve C4::Auth::checkauth() or C4::Auth, but I
think it's worth thinking about. 

Obviously, it would require a ton of testing, but perhaps we could have
incremental improvements.
