Good point.

While I like the module concept, I was under the impression that
modules where more suitable to deal with stand-alone kind of
components (think a calendar, a captcha generator and things
like that). There has been a long time since I read JP documentation
for the last time, so I'll have to get back to the manual in order to 
see if using a module here is feasible.

I'm using Echo and EchoPoint as analogy here, being EchoPoint a project
that provides nice (and optional) ready-to-use Echo components. What we 
are doing in particular is not just a user authentication module, it's 
about general purpose components (web based system log, status monitoring, 
web based configuration/property editor) and a some specific to our project
(i.e. merchant/terminal administration, etc.).

JP3 - we started with JP2 but moved to JP3 because it was the active
branch at that time. We can get back to JP2 if the fun is there now.
