Re: $r->requires and register_auth_provider

Hi André,

This is definitely going to be helpful. I was considering just accessing
the raw config values, but could only find dir_config that remotely
resembled what I needed.
I ended up introducing a custom directive, but that's clunky in my opinion.
So, Apache2::Directive is already a big improvement. Also, if the hanlding
of 'requires' is so simple
as AuthCookie shows, that would be terrific. I will be back with an update
if I'm successful.

Thanks a ton!!
