If we are to support more complex security/authentication schemes like SecurID 
then we need to make cvsagent something that every client and every user (on 
windows at least) runs.

Things the new 'suite agent' should do include:
* pserver password caching (current feature of cvsagent)
* check for software updates 
* securid login
* license management?
* communication/watch?
* contact support
* start a support capture

Not sure what solution to use on linux/unix with SecurID - maybe something 
like gserver/kinit?

version after ssh-agent might be a good place to start.  Not sure how that
compares to kinit.

The 'get' function (pMap->state=1;) retrieves the password, and the 'set' function (pMap->state=2;) sets the 
password...  

We could significantly expand the things cvsagent does - e.g.: tell the client if it is licensed or not.  We could 
use pMap->state=4; etc. for those functions (3 is used for 'delete).
