Log:
Just some things I noticed letting someone else have some desktop time.
Guess homework isn't a bad sacrifice, actually read some docs :-)
Correct me if I'm wrong on the mod_auth_digest changes.

<DD>The API for modules has changed significantly for 2.0. Many of the
module-ordering problems from 1.3 should be gone. 2.0 does much of
this automatically, and module ordering is now done per-hook to
