It is completely separate.  When I took it over it was "unsupported",  
and Jim and I did some work to make it work more seamlessly with the  
main code.

However, it can't use the main system's authentication because it  
needs to support things the main auth code doesn't, and the main auth  
code is too tightly intertwined to separate cleanly enough to fix.   
Search back and you'll find my comments back when I first tried to do  
this.

In short, the entire auth system needs to be modularized (the entire  
codebase, actually) before pulling these together is possible.   
That's why the push towards a redesign for v3.
