Auth can now be configured via config files

[Gustavo Narea]

Hi everyone.

I've finally had the time to implement a long awaited feature of configuring authentication and authorization via configuration files.

It's now available in repoze.what-quickstart 1.0.1 and although it's not (yet) integrated into TG2, you still can use it: All you have to do is port your
auth settings in app_cfg.py to an .ini file.

Specifically, you have to prevent TG2 from configuring authn&authz for you [1], so you can add the middleware by hand [2] and finally create your
configuration file. For most people, this file will contain the following:
======
[general]
dbsession = your_project.model:DBSession

[authentication]
user_class = your_project.model:User

[authorization]
group_class = your_project.model:Group
permission_class = your_project.model:Permission
=====

Happy hacking!
