Good point.  After thinking about it, it seems that AuthType could be
eliminated completely.  The authentication type is already implied by
the use of the directives AuthBasicProvider, AuthDigestProvider or any
other AuthXXXProvider that may come along in the future.  Does anybody
see a need to keep AuthType around at all under the new authentication
architecture?
