Sure, Here is what I am doing. I am working on WebDAV access to content in an OpenACS intsallation.
If a reqest doesn't send an authentication header, I want to ask for the info, so I figured it would be best to use what is already built into AOLserver. It looks like auth.c was written to allow this, but noone exposed the command that registers the user tcl procedure as a tcl procedure itself.
