 * First of all a big thanks for a perfect plugin! But the big question is; will
   there be support for phpbb3 auth? As phpbb3 is using their own auth method the
   plugin is not capable of authing against a phpbb3 db. For me this featur would
   be a gift from heaven, and I suppose I’m not the only person whom would love 
   to be able to smoothly use a phpbb3 installation as the userdb for WP.
