[fprint] libfprint suggestions

[Pavel Herrmann]

Hi

Have a look at fprintd, it has file storage that saves the prints in 
/var/lib/fprint and other plugins should  be relatively easy to add 
(some central database or anything), and is the way that should be used 
(AFAIK it runs as root when called through dbus, so there is no problem 
with permissions) at least by all authentication programs
