Thanks for all the stuff you have done, if you can't work on it, don't worry,
we got time on our side :) (httpd 2.1 isn't even in alpha yet!) (note to self,
i should bug dev@httpd about this...)

I will likely move some of the build/style stuff down to the root of the
htdocs so one script can build the whole website.(both the docs and general
website)

Not entirely sure what you mean by this?

In scripting you can pick up what the user authenticated as..
in php its the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] var, and if a user authenticates with
authn_dbi first, this value will have what they authenticated with....
