New description:
I would like to see a 2nd mod_python handler. one which takes the
REMOTE_USER parameter passed to it and for it to use that as the user-id
so that I can hook my app into the default intranet security system we use
over here.
here is the patch to the original to make that the case.
NOTE: it creates a user-record if none exist for the user.
