[Portland] Root/Sudo Access

[Lucas Smithen]

Hello All,

I am currently working to design an application that may at times 
require root/sudo access.  However, as far as I can tell there are 
different ways to do this depending on the end users distribution and 
window manager.  It has been suggested by a colleague that this 
functionality was planned to be included in the Portland Project but was 
pushed off due to its complexity.  Could anyone give me some information 
on why it may have been pushed off and if plans are still in the works 
to implement such a creature? 

Cheers
