This sample illustrates a pass-thru "stub" gina which can be used 
in some cases to simplify gina development. 
 
A common use for a gina is to implement code which requires the 
credentials of the user logging onto the workstation.  The credentials 
may be required for syncronization with foreign account databases 
or custom authentication activities. 
 
In this example case, it is possible to implement a simple gina 
stub layer which simply passes control for the required functions 
to the previously installed gina, and captures the interesting 
parameters from that gina.  In this scenario, the existing functionality 
in the existent gina is retained.  In addition, the development time 
is reduced drastically, as existing functionality does not need to 
be duplicated. 
 
When dealing with credentials, take steps to maintain the security 
of the credentials.  For instance, if transporting credentials over 
a network, be sure to encrypt the credentials.
