[RADIATOR] Fidelio authentication module: Some suggestions

[Mike McCauley]

Hi Ralf,

Thanks for the suggestion.
We have now updated the latest patch set with this:

Added new parameter MessageHook to AuthBy FIDELIO.  
MessageHook is called after a message from Fidelio has been unpacked into a 
hash and 
before the record is passed to handle_message(). It can 
be used to change or transform any fields in the record before it is passsed 
to handle_message()
and processed by AuthFIDELIO.

Cheers.
