To help depreciating this little fragment of code after the migration
period (which could be two releases as we support a stable and
old-stable release) how about adding a note to the admin (through the
msg() function) inviting her/him to update the config of her/his wiki
when the authtype setting does not match the auth plugin name? Such as
"In your configuration, the option foo should be named authfoo, see
[[this]] link"
This has been suggested in discussion on IRC too.
