Implement fprint for managment of fingerprints

Fingerprint scanners are very common on laptops these days. This is an area where linux is trailing by a large margin, despite the fact that the hardware is supported.
The Fedora Project is developing this as a major feature for Fedora 9.

Perhaps some collaboration could be possible?
