You could take a look at module "auth_openid" which implements the 
openid authentication protocol. Even if the login page is still there,
and there's some openid stuff you can skip, reading the few lines of 
code of this module helps to understand what needs to be done to 
implement any other authentication protocol in a clean fashion (ie: in a 
module).

Hope this helps,
