Hi Nico,
I had the same idea some time ago and I backported the whole 
authentication stuff from flow which took some time but finally went 
well. The only problem is that you have to hook into the TYPO3 core very 
early and inject some stuff there. Also the problem is that with Extbase 
you have sort of a framework into the cms, multiple times. But actually 
you need a cms on top of a framework. As Extbase only is part of TYPO3 
you cannot be sure its even bootstrapped once. So, you do not have all 
the HTTP-stuff the flow authentication relies on.

So you would have to rewrite the underlying HTTP-handling and make sure 
your authentication has all the dependend objects without running Extbase.

Facing that problem I talked with some guys (Extbase Team mostly and 
Thomas Maroschik etc.) and asked them why we do not try to rebuild the 
core on top of Flow. I really don't care about politics bringing asking 
something like that because it doesn't matter whoever in this world 
builds a cms on Flow or who doesn't. I just think Flow ist great stuff 
and having an old fashioned TYPO3 based on that framework would be awesome.

But if ever this happens, it will not be this year and probably not 
2014. So I decided to concentrate on other stuff regarding Extbase, 
wiping one tear after another off my eyes. ;)
