Yes.

I realized that the original API I came up with was making it awkward to use any other authentication scheme than digest authentication. The newer authenticator callbacks are now simpler: there is one to find out whether an endpoint requires authentication and a second one to do whatever authentication is necessary, returning the results of such attempts.

Initially, I thought I was going to need some features from PJSIP trunk, but I realized after backporting them that they really didn't help the situation any. Thus I had to resort to using some thread-local storage in order to be able to access certain data in one of the PJSIP authentication callbacks. Due to the threading model in use, this is safe.

Endpoints can specify multiple auth sections if they have credentials for multiple realms. Similarly, multiple enpdoints may specify the same auth section if for whatever reason endpoints share credentials. This means that Asterisk may send multiple WWW-Authenticate headers out in an authentication challenge and can cope with multiple Authorization headers in requests.

I did this because once an auth object has been constructed, I wasn't sure of another way to do some verification that the configured auth was sane. If a different change should be made, or if I was missing a simpler way to verify a constructed auth object, please let me know. IMO, this change makes good sense, though, especially as I was changing the transport apply handler to be able to return an error condition when it encounters problems.
