Not sure Koha works like that. Reading the code, we switch (not loop) on the
one that is enabled: Koha *or* LDAP *or* CAS with a fallback on Koha if LDAP or
CAS return the code 0.

Anyway we need to enable/disable this module(s). So, in a dedicated
administration page? In plugins-home.pl (but it is not realy built for that) ?
