I suspect what you want can be done with (as you suggest)
just a few lines of changes.  

Here's a basic outline of what you need to do (I think):

   1. In lib/WikiUser.php, you need to modify the WikiUser::_pwcheck()
      so that it returns WIKIAUTH_USER when a given a valid
      regular username, password pair.

   2. In main.php, you need to modify WikiRequest::requiredAuthority()
      so that it returns WIKIAUTH_USER for action 'edit' (currently
      it returns either WIKIAUTH_ANON or WIKIAUTH_BOGO depending
      on the setting of REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT.)

Both are simple changes.

I think that should do it, but I haven't tested it.
If that's not enough help, let me know and I'll try to put
together a set of patches.  I won't have time to do that
until sometime next week though...
