since yesterday i thought of another way, something like authdaemon
(of courier fame), listening on a socket, and exim being on the other
side (i'm not too familiar with sockets any deep, so i don't really
have the exact words, but i'm sure you understand what i mean:). this
could save the invocation time of an external authenticator, still
being a very flexible way of adding own mechanisms.

of course, a simple "communicate through std{in,out} with a
helper"-way should be kept as well, as a helper that can do this is
very simple to write.
