This should IMO really make it into the standard distribution, maybe even replace the webdav module. The main reason I don't use webdav is that its privilege model is useless for all I'd ever want to do with it (e.g. make user's home directory available to them as webdav mount while they are on the road). I'll have to check this out, sounds just about what I've been looking for.

We have some patches against apache to do something similar to this
using a modified mod_dav with a privilege separation mechanism similar
to openssh. In this model, apache still runs as an unprivileged process
and it sends privileged file-system requests overs a unix socket to a
pre-spawned privileged monitor process. This means you get all the
benefits of mod_dav but with the addition of unix authentication,
permissions and quotas, etc.
