I raised this as a feature request previously to allow the location of acl.auth.php the be outside dokuwiki's conf area. 

  Why having only the acl file outside conf/ and not the whole conf/

  the Debian packaging world?).
Thanks Guy, I had not considered this option and after a quick look around I think I understand how to do it (define DOKU_CONF externally or change init.php).
That said, I was considering that the acl information is directly associated with the pages,namespaces and users of the wiki data that change daily rather than config of the dokuwiki engine which changes only occasionally, and particularly with a new release. If I was using plain auth I'd probably want to give auth.users.php the same treatment.
In my case your suggestion would work. Upgrading to a new release would be a bit more complex but I suppose that's what package maintainers are for... 

Cheers,
   Grant.
