Zoran I think you make a lot of good points. Mainly, there is already a
place to do authentication. Before or after this point requires a little
hackery.

But I'm still a little confused. I thought all you had to do to add a
new authentication method was to use the Ns_SetRequestAuthorizeProc to
provide a pointer to a custom C function. The point where this would be
executed is hard wired in (which is the whole point), but is the method
also limited to only basic auth? I understand this isn't available via a
tcl api, but what are the limitations if you do it in C?
