Hmmm, if there is an apache authentication module for sspi, then you'd think
it would be pretty easy to make that do the right thing tm with the rest of
the modules? Apache tends to separate authentication providers and data
providers which need that info. Is there not already two different modules
in apache for authentication and svn access already?
