[Solar-talk] Gmail and Curl authentication adapters

Howdy all,

I've been poking around a bit in Solar as of late because the company 
I'm now working for has made a pretty large commitment to it.  So I 
figured getting conversant in all the ins and outs of Solar is probably 
a good idea.  :-)

In that spirit, I've started my own vendor namespace for contribution to 
Solar, Domain51.  Tonight, I've got my first two pieces of code 
committed to my SVN repository:

    1. a Gmail authentication adapater
    2. a Curl authentication adapter (that the Gmail one extends)

This allows a user to sign-in using their Gmail email address and 
password.  The code is quite simple, it checks the Gmail Atom feed which 
requires a username and password.  If you get a HTTP 200 response code, 
you've got the green light from Google.  Seeing as how nearly everyone 
has a Gmail account, I'm figuring that it's probably as good of a way as 
any to allow user login without having to keep track of all of the data 
yourself.

So, without further adieu...
