Hi Rob

External commenter authenticators are defined through the new  
registry system. Take a look at lib/MT/Core.pm and search for  
commenter_authenticators (which are also defined in MT.pm) to give  
you an idea of how to define a commenter authenticator.

The actual authentication part is handled by the corresponding files  
in lib/MT/Auth (for example OpenID is handled by lib/MT/Auth/ 
OpenID.pm) so check those out to get some examples.

Hope that helps!

Arvind
