if we do a library out of it, with qml friendly qobjects api, but still usable 
from c++ anyways would be very easy to do both a qml and a desktop qwidget 
based client for it (minor annoyance, if auth plugins need a different ui for 
authentication both ui files + c++ logic and qml files would have to be 
provided
