A Mathopd Alias can only be used together with a Location keyword
an maps a URI to a filesystem path, whereas a apache Location is
a control-block that get respected if a URI matches.
In the above psydo-code the keyword PathMatch, which should be better
called UriMatch or so, is exactly that what apaches Location is.
A request to http://<hostname>/trac/login should be passed to the
trac.fcgi script with the pathinfo 'login' after authentification was
successful (see Mathopd's PathInfo keyword).

Yep, regexes could be useful too.
