I wrote a separate, though dependent on mod_auth_cas, apache module
that is loosely based on mod_authz_groupfile.

I've got a meeting next week with our legal department to see if I can
release it to Jasig.  The main difference between mine
and yours seems to be use of a config file with attribute:value pairs
instead of a Require directive.

Cool

Thanks,
Eric
