Maybe designed wasnt' the best word... able to be a guest application...

Passwd, now, doesn't deal with the logged in user at all. This turns passwd into
a more generic password change module. It allows the changing of passwords that
aren't used to login to Horde. eg You could have it as an interface to change
shell passwords or windows domain login passwords (if you wrote the drivers
obviously) but these are things that you most likely wouldn't be using the Horde
Auth.

It wouldn't make sense to login to you mail account to change your shell
password. So passwd now allows guests.

And it's 4:30am so if any of that doesn't make sense, email me and i'll answer
again when I wake up :-)

Also the password policy things like min and max length will be moved to a per
backend configuration when i wake up. It's half done allready.
