PEAR::LiveUser authentification/authorization

Hi.

I'm far not satisfied with existed auth/perm system:
1. it does not support user groups
   (although perm module can determine groups by userid, for each request)
2. it relies on numeric values of uid,
   (this also avoids #3)
3. it cannot get credentials (username AND groups) from external existed database,
   for instance - ldap
4. it does not support roles other then 'edit' and 'admin', because
   bxcmsauth action used in main sitemap in output stage(!)
The closest framework i've found to satisfy these needs is PEAR::LiveUser.

It seems like not much modifications should happen in core.
(beside writing LiveUser backends/wrappers for bxcms)
/*
although,
it is possible to refactor auth and perm interfaces to better support
random credentials (user,group,ip-range,or ever referer)
*/

Has anyone tried to integrate it into bxcms ?

And also there's a question:
How could i configure custom roles,
for instance - 'post' and 'comment' for blog
(supposed to be in user-space, not an admin interface)
/* here im again crying that bxcms does not use popoon directly :) */
