Extremely.  I created a very specifc Auth/Authz module for Apache2.0/2.2, on the base of 
copying Apache2::AuthCookie instead of subclassing it (bad me, but the changes were so 
extensive that I was kinda forced to).  Your commented struggles - and their eventual 
solution - will definetely help me when the time comes to update this for 2.4.

Thanks for sharing.
André.
