I have a login area on every page with my application, phpBugTracker (http://phpbt.sourceforge.net/).  All you have to do is use the default auth and handle the login form yourself instead of relying on auth_loginform().

I suppose you mean 'auth_preauth' instead of 'default auth'..

Thatì's Ok. but when someone installs your package on a site that
already has phplib, but doesn't use preauth (or uses his devidsed form
of), 
he's going to have big problems integratig the two, mostly if he,
logically, 
wants to keep its base of current users (and groups in the near future)

For me the very first, next logical thing to auth is keeping a log of
logins/logouts. More than handling the form interaction, which is
something that I'd throw out to the application side. 

Your application should tell the admin: 
if you don't hae already, pick-up and install phplib, with any auth you
like (crc/no crc, log/reg, md5/no_md5. Do as you like). 
Then add new groups of users, ar extend the existing ones, to provide 
the desired permission to work with muy phpBugTraq app.  Of course, do
not use preauth.

I mean, this is the idea. Would this make any sense  with the way your
package works?
