Do I understand correctly that to able to use authn_socache from a .htaccess
file, there now needs to be this argumentless "AuthnCacheEnable" command
someplace in the main config file? So if I'm an ISP with thousands of clients
on my servers and I think one of them might someday want to use authn_socache,
then I ought to put "AuthnCacheEnable" in my config files? This seems bizarre.
If I have the mod_authn_socache module installed, then haven't I already
indicated my desire that it be available? Why do I need a directive that says
"Not only do I want you to be installed, I want you to work too!" I don't
understand it.

Philosophy aside, I think there is still a problem. I haven't tested it, just
looked at the code, but it looks to me like if you forget to put
"AuthnCacheEnable" into the config file, and try to use it from a .htaccess
file, then you'd still get a Segmentation Violation.  Wouldn't it be better if
it generated a nice neat "You forgot to put the meaningless AuthnCacheEnable
directive into your config file so I'm going to ignore you, neener neener"
message? Or better yet, just went ahead and initialized itself?
