I understand it will be the same when he will setup the authentication, the Directives will be the same, but if the user forget to compile authn, maybe i will not understand why some directives are working and not the others.
I understand too it's better to split the code, it will be easier to read, so good for all developper like me who are coding apache modules. but the documentation must be uptodate with the split.
Last month, i wanted to setup an ldap authentication, i spent many times to understand the gap between now and 3 month before when my setup was working. The auth changed, i had to use basic auth modules instead of before...
And i took hours to find a directive, to let auth_basic make the password go to auth_ldap, the directive wasn't on the mod_ldap documentation, and was lost in the auth_basic help....
So splitting the modules is maybe a good idea, but the right documentation must folow...

The configuration for users will remain exactly the same as it is now, so I don't believe a split will make it any harder for users. It will however make the code a lot simpler to read, and hopefully more stable as a result.
