in this case i'm using htaccess simply to limit who can view
the wiki with a single username/password combo.  once past the
htaccess users who want to edit the wiki will need to sign-in.

since it doesn't appear that the htaccess/htpasswd file is
auto-modified by dokuwiki, there is less value in using a
dokuwiki authentication module since doing so would require
manual editing of the htaccess and htpasswd files.

can you give some examples?  are any of them show stoppers?
