There are a bunch of these web server authentication

suck. Web server authentication would be fairly easy to add to core, with a
minimal amount of change. The auto-auth code does nearly everything required
of web server authentication, except the things that extensions *really*
shouldn't be doing, like adding users to the database, and checking
sessions.
Would anyone object if I add this support to core?
I'd rather see an RFC written up with where we want to go with user
auth. I know your idzeas differ from Aryeh's work on the issue, so
I'd rather see all that stuff worked out before more code gets put in
core.
Just my opinion though.
