It's a bit of a lower priority item. We can pick it up once we make some
headway on the unit testing/JavaFX/WebSocket/HTML 5 end. It's a also a
pretty easy piece (albeit very non-portable at this point). I was
thinking of form based authentication backed by a database to keep
things realistic (I decided against LDAP simply because it would
introduce a significant external dependency). At this point, there would
be just one role - "admin". "users" need not login at all for tracking
(like FedEx, UPS, etc).

Makes sense, right?
