LiveUser is a system to connect any Authentication services with a
Permission Container. As such PEAR::Auth could (and will be) a possible
container with Authentication data using LiveUser.
So basically you could tell LiveUser to authenticate using PEAR::Auth
and to associate users from PEAR::Auth with Permission data.
