[TYPO3-dev] captcha service API

Hi!

Several extensions provide support for captcha libs. Other extensions use 
them. But as captchas evolve and spammers learn, an admin must adapt.

So how about a service API that allows extension to register a captcha 
method. An extension that needs a captcha will ask the service registry for 
one.

The site admin has the option to set a global default captcha, but I think 
it might be of interest to allow specific captchas on a per plugin basis. 
The idea is that you specify one via TS. If it isn't available it will fall 
back to the installation default.

Do you think it's possible to make such a generic API for the different 
captcha libs?
