Yep, that would be my patch.  That part was tested, but I made some
undocumented assumptions, IIRC.

I posted a list of the problems I encountered and the fixes for them
to <http://mah.everybody.org/weblog/archive/80613924>, but never got a 
response from you.

Here is a quick summary of the problems I ran into with the 0.92 version:

  * Sessions don't work, but there is no indication of what is wrong.
  * The AuthNameLoginScript variable doesn't work.
  * There is no way to turn off URL Sessions.
  * AuthNameSessionGlobal doesn't work.
  * It doesn't work with Apache::RequestNotes I just downloaded from
    CPAN.
  * <auth:is-logged-in/> doesn't work if there is no session information.
  * <auth:login/> doesn't work.

Some of these have been fixed in 0.93, other's haven't.

Mark.
