I was planning on doing authenticated directories with type 7 password 
entry dialog but kinda got carried away with other stuff.

Anyone really interested in authentcation with gopher0? Shouldn't take 
more than 30 lines of code to get authentication up and running as most 
of the code is already there in Gophernicus (sessions are what auth 
requires and that's already up and running).
