Hi,

Apparently Eric Bartley isn't maintaining Apache::AuthCookie anymore. 
I've made a bunch of improvements to its functionality, and I'd like to
commit those to CPAN.  Before I do that, I thought I'd throw the
question out there: should I

  * make a new module with a new name, since some of my changes have changed 
    the interface, or
  * usurp the Apache::AuthCookie module and provide a clear stepwise migration 
    path?  Doug said he'd be willing to make me the maintainer.

An explanation of my changes can be seen at
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/gonplingoo

If option 1 is preferred, we need to come up with a new name.  As I see it, the
name should be an "Apache::Auth*" name.  The key features of the module are
that it manages the setting & deleting of cookies for you, and that it
re-routes the user to login/logout pages when appropriate.

 Apache::AuthCookieTicket?
 Apache::AuthTicket?  (Does this exist?)
