[JDEV] Pam support for Jabber 1.4.2

Greetings
	After poking around on various servers I found that there seemed to be no 
easy way to use pam to authenticate a jabber user.  So I went ahead and 
cleaned up some existing work to make a mod_auth_pam.c that fits right into 
the existing build and source tree.  Currently it consists of a small patch 
and the mod_auth_pam.c file.

	I am willing to clean this up and maintain this code, but I am unsure of how 
this is to get included into jabber source, or even if its allowed for that 
matter.  If someone would be kind enough to point me in the direction of 
protocol for this I would be very pleased.

	I have tested this patch so far on linux (suse and debian) and solaris 8.  It 
seems to work just fine, and am using it quite effectively with a 800 user NT 
network where the linux box running the jabber server is using smb_auth in 
pam.  This was key because this instalation is a school and they wanted a 
place for students to chat, but did not want to install and maintain a whole 
new server.  Using jabber and these patches they had a dropin solution.

	Cheers
