[Twisted-web] Guard

[orbitz]

I'm not using PB in this, and that doesn't sound like it solves the 
issue of actually giving the department to the credential checker so it 
can give a yes or no.

This is fairly nasty but I was thinking of a possible solution being to 
inherit from SessionWrapper and rewrite teh getCredentials method and 
then rebind my new class to the one in guard so it uses my class 
internally which grabs the creds I need (shouldn't guard already work 
like this except less icky, but providing a means to specify which 
credentials to use?).

I know it sounds gross but sounds like the most straight forward 
solutiont to what I need..thoughts?
