register_hooks is called when the modules are loaded into memory - it
is indeed the right place to register hooks.

So, by the time the configuration is processed, the providers should
already be registered - so you should be able to do a lookup and get
the associated vtable back and store that in mod_dav_svn's config
structure. So when mod_dav_svn needs to do authz, the config
structure should have the vtable available for invocation.

Safe, but not optimal. =) -- justin
