Optional distributed authentication

Issue Summary

One of my admins wants to use the directory feature of drupal.module while retaining control over user accounts. (As a side note, the remote authentication is not currently mentioned on the admin/settings/drupal page, and came as a surprise to this admin.)

The attached patch simply adds a new toggle, wraps the two points in drupal.module with an if(variable_get('drupal_authenticate')), and adds a conditional to user_auth_help_links() to deal with the disappointment of an 'auth' hook that's turned off.

Brilliant, just what I was looking for too. The shared authentication with other sites worries some admins, but notifying drupal.org about the launch of a new site can be nothing but a good thing usually :-)

+1 from me

Should this not be related to drupal.module rather than just "user system" component?
