Well, for one that's going to be a *lot* more work. I'm not even sure
how many of the concepts would apply to win32, but then I don't really
know PAM...
It also would do nothing to help those who are on platforms or distros
that don't put PAM in there by default - it can still be a pain to put
it in there...
