These 3 options are not really GRAMPS tasks. The necessary .htaccess
files are easily created manually by the user (they need manual
intervention, anyway) and should stay untouched when a new tree is
generated.

It would be sufficient to have a directory 'private' that contains all
the sensitive pages. It may contain a shadow file system tree for
convenience:

   gallery.html
   images/
   img/
   index.html
   ...
   plc/
   ppl/
   private/
     gallery.html
     images/
     img/
     index.html
     ...
     thumb/
   sources.html
   src/
   ...
   thumb/

Again, the user needs to place a .htaccess in the private directory
only once since it should stay untouched when a new tree is generated. 

This also opens the possibility to always show the 'public' pages, and
provide a link 'Show full info (requires authentication)' on pages
that have a private counterpart.

It may be easier, though, to generate two trees:

   index.html
   private/
     gallery.html
     images/
     img/
     index.html
     ...
     thumb/
   public/
     gallery.html
     images/
     img/
     index.html
     ...
     thumb/

It is a bit more work (two passes), but requires less changes to the
way the pages are written out. On systems that support linking, the
public and private pages that are indentical could be linked to save
space.

Note that generating two trees is currently already possible with
carefully chosen report options and a simple script:

  #!/bin/sh
  gramps -a report -p name=navwebpage,target=web/private,living=99,incpriv=1
  gramps -a report -p name=navwebpage,target=web/public,living=2,incpriv=0
